Default need help on purchasing a new alternator

i need to buy a new alternator but need some suggestions on where to get it from. so far im interested in getting a 200 amp alternator. Mr alternator has it for 250 and alternatorparts.com has a 200 amp alternator for 269.

I would like to know what is a good place to get an alternator from so i dont get screwed.

any suggestions?

thanks

I used A-1 in san marcos. I tired to get a 180 and it was a 3 week wait I said no and went with the 120 for $100.

how does it work so far? theres a place on eckhert that i think can do it. that 100 is better than paying 250 for a new one.
