Default Speaking about plug wires

Had a leak in my PS cooler so went and pulled the ALT, compressor and PS pump. Now I guess as long as I am in this far I should replace the plug wires.
What are your suggestions?
I can ACD for $83, or packard style from MId America for $25 plus shipping or Bosche for $57. I have checked prices and have found wiresets from $25 to over $100. This is for a daily driver with no engine mods.

Default Blue Max

I have has Moroso Blue Max spiral core on my 85 since about 1992. Put a set on my 68 in the 80's and a set on my 70 about 1994. All just drivers, just not everyday drivers.

I tried those on my 93 last weekend and they were much shorter than the ones that were already on the car, so short that I didn't bother checking the 8! combinations to see if there was some magic way to get them to fit. While I've had good luck in the past buying the cheaper parts, this time it did not work out for me (and same with the brake booster).

I replaced mine with OEMs from the dealer ( stock 1993 LT1) along with new plastic looms. Great fit, good connections to the opti and plugs, no problems far!
