Default Which Spark Plug Wires Are Better?

I currently have the Magnecor competition 8.5mm wires on my Z. I got a free set of MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor wires and from MTI was wondering which one will give a better spark and is the most heat resistant since i have headers.Just wondering which set to keep and which set to sell. Greg

Default wires

I like the MSD wires they have a real low ohms per foot resistance,
I also have headers and have not had any problems with the boots.

I have the magnecor on my 436. They're top rated, especially for heat and no problems so far.
