I admire the effort you have put into this. I am not sure that there will be any final answer at the end.
Most of the discussion here has been about an alternator at constant speed.
We can come up with an answer as to which method will produce the highest output at a given rpm ( with the same cut in speed) and we could also find the most efficient arrangement in terms of power out for power in if it is possible to measure torque to find power in.
How this relates to power from a windmill is a very different matter and Dan and Oztules have spotted that that this is a very different issue.
For best results on a windmill the one that will come out best is the one that gives you the best match to the blades over the speed range that you test. If you test over a wide speed range, you are likely to get a better match to tsr with the alternator that nearest matches the load characteristic and that may have a lower output on the bench test but not stall the prop on wind test.
You will get different results with different size props.
keep up the good work.
