NGK or Denso. As long as the plugs you're using has the right spark that the car requires, then that's all you need.

I personally use NGK because they're cheaper to buy and they work great.

Keep in mind...The purpose of the spark plug is to provide ground for the secondary ignition circuit. Using anything other than OEM is not gonna justify anything. Just use the Nippo Denso Long Life Iridium and your good for 100k+ miles that's first recommended by OEM. Second recommended by OEM is NGK Iridium.

Best spark plugs for stock? I'm sure it's going to be OEM. What are they worth at the dealer these days? $15 a plug and a left side nut?
