Default Spark Plug Question....

I've been looking into purchasing new spark plugs because I changed mine out yet. Is there a good brand anyone recommends, and a good type of spark plug wires to get as well? thanks in advance.... :cool:

I use AC Delco Rapidfire #5s gapped at 0.035" right now. I will be pulling them out though becuase they are platinum tipped and that is not good for nitrous.
