If you are not after idle amps those John Deer DENSO's look like a great option if you have the extra cash. It's very easy to top out the stock alternators with lights and accessories on. Some people have issues just with high wattage bulbs and windshield wipers on which makes the lights flicker!

My Alltrac Camry has an 80A Denso on it too - with electric fans. Aftermarket fans + brake lights + headlights + turn signals = 11V sometimes. That one probably spins slower at idle to support the 7200rpm redline. It also has the offset ears, so I can't cross-reference any of the upgrade options from the 5VZ. At least the Camry never runs a winch.
At 12.6V you aren't charging the battery, but you aren't discharging it either - so it isn't the end of the world.
