Not all reman parts are of same quality. I would buy a new alternator from Napa, skip the reman. 2nd choice would be an OEM version online, and lastly the dealer.

Have had good luck with junkyard pulls.

Do any junkyards still let you pull your own parts? Haven't seen one that did in years. Probably a combination of liability and too many parts hitching a ride out inside toolboxes.
Even if they did, getting at parts in modern vehicles can, and usually is a challenge to say the least.

For my F350 7.3L the factory starters died with age, but it was common starter used on lots of equipment, the newer ones are built better, I found a new unit with lifetime about 1/3 smaller and cranks faster than original. $160 vs $380. I'd buy rebuilt with warranty

This. Late 7.3 and 6.0 Powerstrokes come with weak electrical systems. Read Ed's maintenance tips #1, #2, and #3. Maintenance Tips

Do not replace weak with weak (stock OEM alternators). Make sure to upgrade your alternator wiring. On my 6.0 F-350, Ford uses two 12 ga wires/fusible links in order to transfer 140 supposed amps from the OEM alternator. Pathetic.

You can buy a Motorcraft alternator from most parts stores. Same one the dealer will sell you. Some dealers will price match as well. My second choice would be a Denso reman.
Ran my own shop for over 30 years and these would be my top choice.
