Either Hitachi or Panasonic.

Is your alternator on the outside of the engine, or is it nestled in between the compressor and the power steering?

Don't forget about matsushita. If i remember right you get the panasonic compressor with spfi/carb (round compressor, inboard mount), hitachi for mpfi/turbo/xt's(ea82 square compressor outboard mount) and matsushita as dealer add on (round compressor looks like it was installed with hardware store components). I am not sure which one is named what, but this is how you find them packaged.
