The Denso OE alternator is 70A, if you're not running some crazy stereo system I don't really see the need to go beyond that. There is a issue with the alternators in the Yaris with corrosion forming on the voltage regulator terminals inside the regulator. Toyota issued a TSB advising replacing the alternator but you can take it apart and clean off the corrosion quite easily once you remove the alternator.

90A was actually cheaper than 70 or 80 amp
bought a rebuilt model with a lifetime warranty for $120. installed it this afternoon.. need to take the car for a drive to charge it up
