It's been my experience working on cars for over 38 years that you just can't go wrong using what the car was built with. Now I'm sure with modifications the heat range may change, but my recommendation still holds. GM-AC delco, Ford- Motorcraft or Autolite, Mopar- Champion. In sticking with what the manufacturer uses I've never had a problem.

This. Stock parts will always last the longest and typically be the most comfortable and best for the car. I use NGK TR6 plugs because I heard they were the best for what I have done to my car. My tuner told me he has the best experience with TR5 sparkplugs cause they're relatively similar and they're cheaper. He said its better to buy the cheaper plugs and replace them more often rather than buy expensive plugs just to get a little bit more life out of them.

This for sure with stock applications, stay stock. If you go FBO like a lot of folks do like I did years ago, my tuner installed NGK TR55's in my engine and they ran good for what I had, since the cam and all now I run NGK TR6IX's . Great plugs..

If your car is a stick, it is an LS3, if an automatic then L99.

So far it's been AC Delco in all my bowties and I do not buy them online since the chance of fakes scares me.

Awhile back I remember watching a test of the platinum vs. the regular Delco's in the dark and surprisingly the regular plugs threw a hotter spark.

I went with Denso Iridiums

I have had good results with the NGK Iridiums too.

As said already, don't buy from ebay or amazon the AC delcos. People are puzzled by misfires and dash lights after replacing them. They melted right after driving. Fake made in China from recycled tuna cans or something.
My preference is not Champion, with NGK in the top 5 along with other's mentioned.
