On my A6 when the alternator failed I just replaced regulator with bushes. The main reason was because I could do it without taking alternator off so it was less work. 2nd reason was that I could choose the regulator voltage for the aftermarket regulators so I went with a bit higher voltage than stock and chose 14.8V.
