I hate saying this, but the new alternator could die in a short period of time if if you don't fix the oil leak. I would go with the one from the wrecking yard. Bring it to an alternator shop and have it tested. Tell the wrecking yard you want your money back if it won't work.
When you get a good alternator, charge your battery before you start the car. A dead battery can destroy a good alternator.
Another thing, the belt could be slipping on the alternator because of the oil leak. If it is slipping, the alternator will not charge.
