Default replacement plugs. Any recommendations?

I'll be replacing my sparkplugs soon and was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for anything other than the OEM plugs. Also, what did you pay for them? Thanks,

Stick with OEM, the stock plugs are very good performers. Unless you are doing FI or really high end mods, I'd just recomend staying stock with the plugs

I went with NGK Iridium plugs. The stock plugs are NGK platnum, so the Iridium is a little better of a plug.

I believe the stock plugs are NGK double platinums - both center and ground electrodes have platinum tips. The NGK iridiums are only avalilable with iridium on the center electrode. That means they won't last as long.
I already bought a set of the NGK iridiums, so I'll try them out someday. I don't expect to find much difference.
