Re: what spark plugs do you use!
Double post. Delete your other one. Just a heads up. 
I use NGKs. I don't run nitrous or anything though either. If you're going for longevity, go with stock AC Delco platinums.

NGK tr55
$2 each and are good quality
in the past 2 cars i've owned, when i changed the stock plugs each at around 55k miles...on each engine...4 of the 8 plugs were missing the platnum plug.
so why pay 3-4x the price for something that doesn't last. once you know the tricks, a plug change isn't that hard. i'd rather do them every 25k miles and know they are good than pay $8 each and hope they last 50k miles

AC Delco I agree with LT1 POWR stay away from bosch I've had problems with them everytime I've used them. And I'm a tech and have had to replace new plugs because of a miss and they're always bosch, I can't even begin to count the number of bosch's I've had to replace.

Re: what spark plugs do you use!
NGK TR55s just last weekend Seem to be fine so far anyway. The stockers looked pretty good, although I only had 17,500 miles on the car. All 8 looked exactly the same, and the engine appears to be in good health judging by the old plugs.

Re: what spark plugs do you use!
When I first bought my TA, I quickly put nitrous on it, so I used Autolite 104's with a .040 gap. Now that I have a 200 shot on top of H/C, I like to use Autolite 103's gapped at .035
