Default 91 Honda Civic Si (1.6) Alternator recommendation

Looking to buy a good alternator.
Although I have a lifetime warranty on the current alternator (Azone), I'm tired of replacing the alternator every couple of years.

Who manufactures solid alternators that are plug in ready with my current wiring?

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

If you're getting free replacements, you're probably best off sticking with that until they can't give you anymore. You're not likely to get better quality at the big parts chains, and a lot of them won't give you a lifetime warranty.
You could try finding a local shop that rebuilds them. You're more likely to get better components and quality, but that will probably be at a higher cost.

Why not just rebuild it with quality bearings? or are the electronics failing?

well for one thing, stop getting parts store parts. Go get a used one from car-part.com, oem parts work and last for a long long long time. that is the way it is done right.
