Default Recomendations for Plug Wires

Getting ready to buy a new set, and I would like to get a set of cut-to-fit cables. What brand would be good as well as easy to work with? Also, any tips for stripping and crimping the ends would be helpful and appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

I favor the MSD Super Conductor wires. 50 ohms per foot. Check out Summitracing.com

Taylor 8mm spiral wires
I purchased the ones where I have to cut the wires myself and I purchased the tool to do it. No trouble, no problems, clean install.

I got it from summit

Since I'm running the MSD ignition anyway, I went with the MSD wires also, Cut to fit and comes with the crimp tool. Routed mine under the headers to clean up the valve covers, ditched the shields and no radio interference. Trouble free for 5 years now, quality product.

I'm using Accel 8.8 because I got a good deal on EBay. Ran them the factory way. No problems...

MSD Super conductor. Good quality. Some of them are CLOSE to the header but after about 8000 miles, no sign heat damage. Came with a basic but easy to use crimping tool As a bonus, they look good to,
