Looks like I need to replace the alternator.

While trying to sort out a horrible sound seemingly coming from the alt/compressor/idler area, I noticed the alternator vibrating quite noticeably. I took off the idler pully and AC belt, and heard the alternater making a somewhat faint whirring noice in addition to its vibration. So now the questions:
I think its obvious, at the very least, I need to replace the bushing for the mount and the alternator. SD sells a set of poly bushings for this. Are they worth it? Would a local shop sell something similar? Would putting OEM bushings back in be a bad idea?
How about the alternator itself. I can of course get one from one of the big auto parts chains that will carry a lifetime warranty. Whats the advantage or disadvantage of getting one of these vs. ordering one online from a sponser site? And I also see some people upgrading to a 110 amp alternator. Is there a practical reason for this?
Thanks again!
