ADLM: You don't realize it, neither do most of your respondants, however you've asked two completaly separate questions. Number one 6 or 12 volt, and in my opinion keep it 6 volt. 6 volt will start a well tuned Farmall A anywhere in North America down to temperatures as low as -40F. It you plan to use it colder than that, first get your head examined.
The second question is the charging system, and in that case alternator wins hands down. I have 3 offset Farmalls, all alternator charging. Super A with 6 volt alternator, 130 and 140 with 12 volt alternator. Super A and 130 were done in 1992, 140 in 2004. The Super A has been absolutely trouble free, even giving me 13 years on that new 6 volt battery installed in 1992. I can also tell you, next time I need a new battery for 130 and 140 they will become 6 volt alternator charging system.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
