Question Reman/new alternator choices - 94 G20

Hello, i was hoping to gather some opinions or recommendations as to which alternator choice would be best to replace the stock one in my van. So far Im looking at the acdelco reman, denso reman, Remy reman, or Remy Gold (new). I'm leaning towards the remy gold as they seem to do extensive testing and quality work, good reviews on the net in the few ive found, are an oe alt manufacturer as well, and offer a lifetime warranty. All of the choices ive mentioned are in the 120-130 dollar range after core and shipping (with discount code from rockauto). The current alt is weak and if i run anything more than the lights when i need them, its dead the next morning, so ive been driving all winter without the use of my heater. Oh, and fyi the battery is less than 3 months old. Im open to all advice and opinions, so please have at it.

This is for a 94 G20,350 motor, with rear a/c.

have you tested the alternator for output and/or load tested the battery?

This is just an update for anyone who runs into the same question i had, as no-one had an answer for me. I bought the Remy Gold alt from rockauto, and i couldnt be happier, it is a true quality replacement, OE design, and 100% new like it says, and Ive got 3k-5k miles on it so far with no complaints, its a little louder than the old one, but nothing i cant live with. If you want a fully new replacement this is worth the extra $.
