Exclamation Spark plug help!!

I accidentally posted this in another thread instead of posting a new one, so here it goes:

All right kids, I've searched this forum high and low and found numerous types/brands of spark plugs being used. I know this has been beaten to death, but I'm doing a plug change this weekend and I would like to put in what is best suited for my baby. So, if everyone could chime in their opinions, what they run, and maybe some factual evidence of some pro's of the plug you use, I would greatly appreciate it!!

NGK Iridium, expensive $ 225 Cad but tough, no gap widening like the coppers. If your modding try 1 temp cooler (2314). You won't have a dirty throttle body or black sout in your exhaust pipes. just one opinion for you to consider.

ran over 120,000 miles with the factory plugs. No misfires. No damaged plugs or excessive gunk build up in the spark void. Just a bigger gap. I would not recommend doing this (and I wouldnt have had I known they were never changed before), but it shows you the quality that $2 copper champion plugs is all you need and thats what I replaced them with. 130,000 miles on my truck and not a single drivetrain problem ever, just normal maintenance.
