spark plugs

I had put bocsch platinums in my ranger not 3 weeks ago and had to replace them or it would go anywhere. I have had bad luck with them before but it was in a foriegn sports car. The best i had was the NGK plugs but yet thats still with sports car, so which plug should i get for he longivity and quaility?

Motorcraft would probably be a good choice

I pulled Motorcraft out of mine at 74k (when I bought it), and they were pretty rough (but what plug wouldnt be after 74k), anyways, I wanna say that I installed NGK, now I'm at 122k and still getting ~26mpg. I did also change the plug wires, prolly be a good idea to do that too. I used Motorcraft wires.

I went ahead and payed the $7.30 per plug (8 plugs in the 4cyl) and got the Motorcraft platinum for mine at 93k miles. Wires don't need to be replaced as often as most people think so I just left them alone.
