What alternator to buy

My alternator is starting to make the whinning noise especially if it rains the alternator will lose power. I been looking at which manufacturer I should go with but want to hear other peoples opinions. The one's I know about are the Denso remanufactured, Bosch remanufactured, and the NSA alternator. The NSA is a little more but its all new parts.

go with a reman Alternator from someone that gives lifetime warranty.

I've had good luck with Orielly units. Autozone seems to be slightly less quality. but if they give a lifetime warranty and pay labor for failure. that's good enough for me.
