What are the best plugs?

What are the best spark plugs for my '97 Cobra? I've heard the Bosch Platinum+4s are good. You don't even have to gap them! Supposedly they come pre-gapped. I've also heard good things about NGK plugs.....What do you guys use???

From an earlier post way back when:

"My personal opinion on spark plugs is that as long as you stay away from "gimmicky" plugs like split-fires and gap them correctly, you should be just fine in near-stock applications. Bosch, Champion and Autolite are all good plugs. I have read that platinum plugs last a bit longer, so it is going to be a personal preference.

Just my 2 cents..."

I have tried them all, trying to squeeze any extra power out of this car. The Verdict, Autolites are the best and for 1.14 a plug, you can't beat them.

The Bosch plugs and any other high priced plug just aren't worth the money. I did like the stock plugs for 30000 miles though but the Autolites were better.
