Alpacas as guards, no. They are too fragile themselves to be effective guards.
I loved my llamas. I switched to dogs because my llamas were all getting older (and I lost my 4 favorites within a few months of each other - age for 2, allergic reaction to a medication for 1, and freak accident for the other) and they weren't enough to deal with our predator problems.
I personally am not a fan of donkeys. Some people love them though. I know someone who has 4 mini donkeys to guard his flock and he is happy with them. donkeys aren't always great with lambs.
