It depends... alfalfa in pellets, and in hay will lead to more hay waste as the rabbits sort through the alfalfa hay to find the long stem fiber , [ long stem fiber is low in pelleted feeds] - I personally prefer to feed a grass hay with alfalfa based pellets .

I feed timothy hay and alfalfa pellets to my New Zealand and my other breeds.

Do you mean pure alfalfa pellets or alfalfa-based pellets with other ingredients added to make them a complete diet?
Timothy hay is good as a supplement to pellets--the rabbits get their long-stem fibre and also the satisfaction of nibbling without getting fat.
