doesn't really matter .....just gap them correctly and change them on a cold engine so you don't strip the heads

It actually does matter somewhat. There is a spark plug thread in the FAQ section with lots of opinions, but the most popular units (and therefore the ones that usually work the best) are:

NGK V-power (copper)
Champion (stock, copper)
Autolite 3923s (copper)

NGK Iridiums usually work well to (longer change interval than copper), but expensive. Bosch are usually bad for our trucks, especially the +2 and +4 type.

Stay away from E3's. The rig started to misfire after 2 years.
