Whatever you decide, I wouldn't skimp on any of the wiring between the battery and the alternator.

Should the battery disconnect from it at a high engine speed, the resulting "load dump" could prove very destructive to the car's electronics. It is the most severe fault a designer must guard against, and some fully don't, or don't, because of the cost.
