I'm partial to the Callaway plug wires. I run headers and a Maggie so I get a little heat under the hood
and after 12k miles no issues or melt downs. I have a set of stock wires with 2k miles on em if your interested pm me. I would use Taylor heat sleeves if I was going to use stock wires, but thats just me.

I am running Taylor wires and I love them, no issues. But then again my headers are ceramic coated so no heat or melting problems.

I use MSD wires with sleeves and they have been great thus far. I also run a maggie charger and stainless headers.

Lol, I bet you do.
I run wires that are made by some guy who makes them for NASCAR. Pretty hefty. I think Spinmonster is the only other guy that has them round here and that's cause I showed him mine.
I would run stock or something like mine. I have had trouble with MSD, don't like those at all. Be sure to let us know how those Taylors do. I ran them on my Ford. I'd be most interested in how they held up after removal and install a few times.

From my experience you usually can't go wrong with OEM parts.

Same here... I broke one of mine replacing a header gasket today 
Replacements were $130 from the dealer... I'm picking them up today.
I have never had good experiences with aftermarket wires... Installed a set on a friend's C5 and they never fit right...
