I always had issues when I used any plugs other than Bosch Iridium or Platinum. You can even try Bosch copper plugs if you find the right heat and size. They're usually cheaper and better, but don't last very long... like 10k miles.
Pros: cheaper and better
Cons: don't last long

Mileage: 10000 km
So the new set of plugs arrived, so switched out them along with new wires, since two broke during work (Magneti Marelli) and since I already tested and bought a new coil pack basically the whole ignition system's now revamped.
So far after more than two hours of driving, no problems, but Im really careful since I dont wan to find out Im wrong, but it feels ok.
The old plugs where NGK, and after pulling them, their resistance measured on average about 4 kohms.
I kept the previous set, which where Beru's and they measured ~1.4 kohms.
The new set is Bosch, and Im going to stay away from NGKs since I drive a little bit sporty, lasted less than two years, and (I think) 20'000 km.
Pros: no problems after revamp
Cons: NGKs lasted less

Bosh Double Iridium is the best value. AC Delco as well as the NGK only have an iridium electrode. The Bosh plugs have iridium laser welded to the ground electrode as well. The advantage is that it stays cleaner when it gets up to temperature and will have virtually no wear. Don't get Autolite. Their plugs are almost always out of spec. Out of the box you can ohm them out and 1 of the 4 is guaranteed to be out of spec.
Pros: stays cleaner, virtually no wear
Cons: Autolite out of spec

For the last twenty or so years I have only used Bosch plugs. I have had great service in my VWs, Toyotas and Ford.
Pros: great service
I think I just went back and got the Bosch. Couldn’t return either because I jacked up the nips trying to tweak them off ????
Cons: jacked up the nips
Vehicle:

if not oem ACDelco get ones from the likes of ngk, or bosch.
I went with OE ignition coils and bosch spark plugs and the misfire went away for a couple days but came back on my drive to school.
Pros: misfire went away
Cons: misfire came back
