I went from sub 0.030" spark gaps to the stock above 0.040" spark gaps without getting spark blowout for 4 years now.

I’ve always had good luck with MSD coils. I’ve had them on MULTIPLE vehicles.

I purchased the MSD coil upgrade kit, swapped out the coil pack, new spark plugs / wires, fresh oil / filter. Fired her up and she purred like a kitten.
Pros: purred like a kitten

Volkswagen Corrado
You can also spring for the MSD coil, about twice as much but the boots are attached better I think, where the OEM part might have the boots rip off or the springs get caught up.
Pros: boots attached better
Cons: twice as much
Couple years ago I put a full pack of MSD coils on it, and they ran amazing right off the bat, and great for about 3 years before I had a coil fail on me while I was camping.
Pros: ran amazing, great performance
Cons: one coil failed
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
So I replaced the coils with MSD packs, and tossed in fresh plugs, even though the old ones were less than 10k miles in. This seemed to fix the issue for a while, but it ended up coming back.
Pros: seemed to fix issue
Cons: issue ended up coming back
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 10000 km
Soooo many burnt up MSD ignition coils. We tried our best.
Cons: burnt up
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I have used the MSD ones before but they will fail much faster.
