Default Best Spark Plug Wire Set to Minimize Chance of Cross Talk

So i know there is a service bulletin on routing of the wires. i have not done it yet since its hasn't given my codes for a miss. i am going to re route wires but i want to get better wires to help even more, just to be safe. Don't care if its overkill its not expensive to get better wires. so i have a set that is 8mm and a set doubled in price that is 10mm. Are either of these a good choice or is there a better choice. im running a $50 bosch set right now but i dont know the mm. not even 8mm i know that.

The Davis Livewires are a better deal for 10mm wires and have heard good reviews on them

I got some Magnecor 8mm. Very good quality wires and boots. No voltage jumping with these wires,even if your a little sloppy. Yeh they're around 125.00 bucks, but beats buying the premium glo-worms from O'riellys every 1.5 years for 45.00.

I just went with the cheapies from advance and ran plastic convolute back to the boots at the cap, no problems with interference...

Couldn't imagine paying 129 for wires...

I've been running them ever since I upgraded my ignition and have no complaints. I never even bothered to think about the routing, just slapped 'em in there. They don't crossfire even with the DUI Screamin' Demon (45kV) coil and plugs with monstrous .058" gaps.

They're fendy spuckers but I'll buy 'em again when the time comes.

I did a tune on my truck about 30,000 miles ago with the cheap Autozone brand and routed them like I thought they should go before I knew anything about crosstalk. So far I haven't had any issues with them. Either I somehow managed to do it correctly or the wires are good quality.

Running MSD on 8mm on my !995 Jeep 5.2 for 6 years , my 1998 jeep 5.9 for 5 , and now on this 1996 Ram 5.2 since last week . They don't care if you follow the TSB or not . I also have MSD coils on all three .

I just took a cheap new set of 7 mm off the ram due to a cross fire issue .

I ran Taylors on my 70 454 Chevelle , no problems to report here .
