Is it more efficient to tax the stock alternator, or upgrade?

First off, *flame shield on* I know that electrical loads should be minimized, but I have a burning question: would it be better to tax my stock 80amp alternator or upgrade to a 110amp alt from a larger vehicle (Nissan Quest, in this case.) I know that generally speaking, a higher output alt will cause more parasitic loss, but which you guys think to be greater?
