they have different alts for 89-91 TII and n/a. which one is better. I am putting it on an 88 n/a. I might even go with the gen 3 if it will bolt up with no problems. what do you guys think?

I'd be very careful with rebuilt alternators (and starters).  All the local auto parts shops (Kragen/Shucks/Checkers, Car Quest, Napa) have been CRAP, even with the lifetime warranty.  I pay the little extra and buy the remanufactured units from the Mazda dealer...
Mail order is even worse.  If it fails, you gonna pack it up and send it back and wait?

I wish I was driving!
3 gen bolts up, requires some VERY simple wiring. Only trick is drilling out the pulley off your old alternator to fit the 3rd gen one. Shaft on the 3g alt is bigger (not to mention a serpentine pulley), so you gotta drill out the 2g pulley to 15mm, get it machined, or get a pulley that fits from the aftermarket.
#g alt is a good upgarde, provides an extra 20 amps for e-fan, stereo, etc.
