Question about Alternators for a 99 SCab

I currently have a 95amp alt (I think, That's what me and the autozone guy guestimated) and was thinking of looking into a HO alt mainly because i am in the pprocess of putting in a 1000 w sub setup.

The main question is what are good names for reliable alts?
I came across "Power bastards" on here by someone else but I also see that summit racing has "Tuff Stuff Performance" alts for just about the same price. The only difference between the two listed here is that PB has a 130 rebuild to 220 for $4 more than the Summit 200A Tuff's.

Over all what is a good reliable alt I could use? or would I even need a HO alt? Could I just get away with a stock 130 upgrade??? Then again if I have to chage it might as well get a good one for "down the road add-ons".

EDIT: Sorry forgot to mention I have a 99 F-150 Lariat SuperCab with a 4.6 Triton

Add another 95 or 130 amp alternator

Have you tried using the auxiliary battery?

don't have one

What I was asking is have anyone had any of them and have any feedback on reliability and quality of them. If anyone knows of any others that are good let me know.
