Spark plugs and coils

What plugs should I get that would work good in my 2002 Ford Escape V6? Any particular coil that has worked good as well versus the $90 each one at NAPA?

I would go with Motorcraft plugs, but withhold judgment on paying for Motorcraft coils. Some have done will with coils from Amazon or eBay, and a full set is less than one M'craft coil. Wonder where the M'craft coils are made? Hecho in Mexico or hecho in China? Wanna bet?
Do a search of this sub-forum for coils and you will find more information. I have found some sources to be more customer friendly than Rock.

If you have a misfire due to multiple bad coils, it may have a damaged coil driver in the computer. I just went round and round with one of these, it's a common issue. Replace all the coils, all the spark plugs, and if it still has a misfire replace the PCM. If you replace the PCM before replacing the defective coils, it will fry the new one as soon as the key is turned on.
