Default 12 V alternator choice

Ok, Ok, stop your moaning.... this is being done because of a medical condition dealing with heat, been hospitalized twice with heat stroke! I believe the medical term for this condition is called ALICE or in some areas SALLY! So AC seems to be in the future. Most alternators on A's (6 or 12 volt) seem to be
"1 wire". I have been told these can be hard to find should one fail on a road trip. Would a "3 wire" with an in line diode be a better choice with the thought of on the road replacement from the local auto parts store? What would be a better choice a GM 10 SI or a 12 SI? I hope to complete this project in time for this years tours so please hold back on the well deserved sarcasm and those who have made this change please share your expertise. Thanks
