Thinking I'd revisit the spark plugs. If the gaps had opened up large, they're pretty much done across the boards. The 5.7 run 16 plugs - two per cylinder, one that fires on compression and one that fires on exhaust to help out on emissions by trying to burn unspent fuel. If you wanted to skimp on cost, you replace the 8 that fire on compression. I doubt the exhaust fire would be causing the misfire code. I always find ways to save a pile on parts, typically finding a 25% off advance auto coupon - or ordering online.

Given that data, I'd probably replace the o2s first. But I'd put plugs on my list when I could afford to change them out.
