Must always file an alternate.

The required alternate whether is most likely going to be company specific.
In my case, if the airport has 1 nav aid, then you have to add 400' and 1 mile to the published mins; thus creating "derived" minimums. If the airport has 2 nav aids, then you have to add 200' and 1/2 mile to the published minimums.

Also, keep in mind that there are other alternates besides destination. There are also takeoff, wind, braking, and driftdown.
