Default Alternator suggestions

Hey dudes. I have a 93 5.0 lx, and the original alternator crapped out the other night. I would like to know what other dudes have used as far as aftermarket ones go. I would really like a good, reliable one. I really don't want an oem, or rebuilt, or auto zone brand stuff. I'm open to anything with a lifetime warranty. Preferrably 200 amp. A little lower is fine too I guess. I just wanna know what would be a good spend. I tried the steeda site, and I couldn't find any for the 93 model. I would like to order it tonight, and hopefully have it here by thursday, and have it on the road again by friday. Thanks in advance. - Chris.
