The first one is the good deal, the second one, I don't know if it's the right one to fit on our cars, the third one is just a 2G with increased output, but still a 2G, and the fourth is used, but the right one.

First one looks like the best buy, but you can get a 3g alternator from a junkyard for 30 bucks.

There are MANY writeups in 5.0 tech about alternator upgrades. I could write a book on how to upgrade, what to upgrade to...but I'll leave that up to you to search

You have a mixture of 2G, 3G and 6G alternators listed. Stick with either 2G or 3G. Each has it's own install instructions.

When you DO decide to upgrade - MAKE SURE you upgrade your power and ground lines to thicker gauge wire!
