Default What spark plugs do you like?

While doing other work I have my plugs out. I'm considering new ones. I've got headers, intake, other bolt ons. What are some choices others like? I presently have NGK TR55's which have been working just fine but I'm still interested in other suggestions.

The TR55's seem to be the favorite of the mod crowd. I have AC Delco Irridiums. Pricey - but they really do last forever. Better than factory - which half were missing the platinum puck after 80K miles.

I'd stick with what your running or the AC Delcos.

Which brings up another question. When pulling the wires off on one wire the metal clip that attaches to the plug pulled out. I called the vendor (LG) where I bought them and was told I can only get a full set. They don't have any spares. Any suggestions? Can that be fixed? Another brand of wire that I don't have to spend another $90 on. I'm already spending enough right now.
