The most advanced regulators are made by Wakespeed. The MC 618 are very good as well. That said, I think for 95% of users, the better route is the standard internally regulated alternator. You can get new alternators (w/internal regulators) for not much more than you'd pay for the new regulators.

That said, I'm a glutton for punishment and prefer the flexibility of the external regulators, but if you're not going to use the features, it is just complexity and cost for the sake of it.
