Mad with external regulator?

I am ready to start the engine bay wiring and have already done the MAD conversion in the dash with the correct wires coming through the bulkhead connector. I am going to use a maxi-fuse instead of a fusible link. I am considering keeping the stock alternator and external regular, just curious if any of you have done it that way. All input is appreciated, I am at decision time on the issue.
