Default Best Spark plug wires for 5.9, 96 Model RAM

My error if there is already a concensus, or thread on this.. I looked around, but what would be a good choice for brand to replace my spark plug wires with? Read about the spark plugs as well and could never figure out what most beleived to be the better choice for the 5.9 either..alot liked the champion truck series.. thanks again

No offense man, but there is already a thread on this on the front page, just a bit further down.

Dont get anything with cheap boots like the ones on my My MSD Street Fire 8mm wires. First, they are really hard to get off with a spark plug wire pliers, and after a year, the boot on cylinder #6 has split and now is starting to arc with the heat sheild.

My next wires will be either Taylor ThunderVolt 8.2 wires or Mopar 7.5mm wires. Or I might just cheap out with NAPA Belden wires that have a lifetime warranty.
