I did the alternator recently on my 2013. The price of the part was about the same.
Pros: price about the same
Vehicle:

Mechanic put in a different kind, and I spent all last summer with dead batteries. After a lot of troubleshooting, and thinking there was a parasitic draw, we found the alternator was bad. Replaced w/ Denso, and no problems since.
Pros: no problems since
Cons: dead batteries
I got a Hella 100amp from LRDirect ($270 shipped UK->USA) and did the same extra charging cable mod. Very happy with it.
Pros: very happy
Well I definitely wouldn't have gone aftermarket but I understand you might have been in a pickle

Go with an OEM unit by Motorcraft even if it's more expensive. Not somethin you want to do twice, learned this lesson with my Explorer. Threw on an aftermarket unit and it doesn't communicate with Ford's smart charging system correctly so it doesn't provide correct voltages as needed, therefore throwing a charging system warning constantly.
Pros: OEM unit, correct voltages
Cons: aftermarket unit, charging warning
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer

I purchased a Duralast 115A Alternator 14921 (remanufactured) which, once we moved the pulley and fan from old to new, it mounted up without a hitch. Once the battery was charged I connected everything up and she started right up. However, the voltmeter was hanging around 12V so we put a multimeter on the battery and only saw 12V+/-.
Pros: mounted up without a hitch
Cons: voltmeter hanging around 12V
Vehicle:
Porsche
Part number: 14921
