To be honest, I don't think there's much of a difference between major brands, and in most applications, much of a difference between coppers and platinum.

Marketing hype...

Now I wouldn't be buying plugs from the "bargain bin" that have brand names you've never heard of... While all plug gaps will expand over time due to heat.... some cheapies can get a REALLY bad expansion...

I have over 30k miles with my blower running on Autolites, and they still look fine....
Now THAT'S not hype...
