For me it depends on how much of a pain the R&R of the part is to do. My El Camino wore out yet another water pump. I used a brand new water pump, and since the old one was still under warranty, the replacement was another new pump for free. Stuff that the do for a small block with eleventy zillion small blocks on the planet. Of course the entire engine was a brand new, not rebuilt 350 that I bought for $1,700 delivered to my door.
As far as an alternator, I have used a lot of different ones. Most of them from a FLAPS are junk. I finally had a local guy build me one from top quality parts. I can change the alternator in 15 minutes if I take my time.
For the 911, I am very leery of non OEM level of quality. ER suspension parts are fine, but for most things, I prefer OEM.
