I have had several Alpine head-units. Excellent quality/sound/features, my only (minor) gripe with them would be that they need a better looking display.
Anyways, if you get one of the higher powered models, you'll definetley want to run the 12V power wire directly to the battery (with appropriate in-line fuse close to battery) using 10 guage or thicker cable (most people overlook this, even some stereo guys). Also, it would be a good idea to take out all the old speaker cables, and run some good quality 16 guage or better stuff.
