For my money, I'd go with an ammeter no matter what kind of alt/reg combo you are using. It gives you more information about what is going on in your system. All a voltmeter does is tell you that you are building enough voltage that you should be charging. The ammeter actually will tell you that plus whether there is more juice going into the battery (charging), or more coming out (discharging). If the meter shows the direction is charging, then you know your alt/reg output is enough to run your ignition, accessories, etc. and still have enough left over to charge the battery. Normal operation is that when you first start, you'll see 10-15 amps of current in the charge direction and then slowly fall off to just a couple of amps after you've run for awhile.
