Default Advance Auto/AutoZone Alternator question (daily driven track car)

Need to buy a new alternator. Looking at alts from AutoZone and Advance. What is the difference between a 140$, 200$ and a 225$ alt?

Am I paying more for just a name?

This is on my turbo daily driven track civic. Any suggestions or advice?

Brand and warranty
the $140 is autolite and has a lifetime warranty
the $200 is probably beck-arnely and i think it has 1 year of warranty
But they are all reman alternators

Just get the $140.
i just to work for CSK.
Try to look somewhere else because CSK prices are very expencive

Yeah, I really didn't understand that. The "cheap" one has a lifetime but the 225$ Bosch is only a year.
We don't have any CSK's around these parts. Just Advance, AZ and NAPA.

just as long as the voltage is the same, go for the cheaper one.
