Plug Brand for 5.4?

I was going to purchase bosch b/c i thought it was a great plug but have since heard mixed things. I have a 98 exped 4x4 with 57k miles and it is about time to replace the plugs per the book. What should I buy and how much should i expect to pay?

In fact, truth be known, I already purchased the bosch platnium for $1.75 each, on sale, but might need to return them depending on your comments.

I presonally dont think you can go wrong with Motorcraft plugs like what the factory uses. And, contrary to what some people think, Motorcraft and Autolite aren't the same.

Bosch Platinum +4 have worked great . Tried autolite, motorcraft, didn't care much for them. Whatever plug you decide to run, be sure it is a platinum plug! It won't run worth a damn without em'! The plus 4 gave a noticable increase in performance!

If Motorcraft Platinums are good for 100K miles, they're certainly good enough for me. I've got over 60K miles on my stockers without a single miss.
