It seems this is a YMMV subject.

I used to be the guy that takes out everything OEM "if possible" and replace it with an aftermarket: Shocks, spark plugs, brakes, wheels, etc... With years I learned that I don't always get the best results with the aftermarket, even if they advertise better components. I did learn to stick with OEM yet I don't really listen

Engines designed to run on copper plugs generally perform best with copper plugs.

Indeed, but look how "for example" Rock Auto represents the spark plugs replacement for a 2nd generation Dakota. It seems as if the Iridium ones are the best replacement. Which I admit, was deceived by such representation and used to go far from OEM and how the engine is designed. I still have this bad habit in me every now and then
