I decided to go with the 90A modern style internal fan alternator for the reduced noise and (hopefully) increased efficiency from better cooling. I also ordered a clutched pulley to help smooth out the belt drive and hopefully reduce noise and increase efficiency.

$139.58 total for the alternator, pulley, pulley installation tool and belt. Could be worse. Now I'll just have to figure out the wiring modifications and I'll be back on the road. I don't think running heavy cable is warranted for a slight increase in alternator power, so it should be pretty straightforward.
