Question Spark Plug Recomendation

Hey everyone,
I'm stuck with having to make the decision on what spark plugs should i get. My truck is a 2001 5.4L 4x4 supercrew with hedman headers, accel ignition, Magnaflow metalcore cats, cherrybomb dual exhaust, electric fans, predator tuner, proformacne products 75mm throttle body, MAC cold air intake, and throttle body spacer.
I have seen mixed thoughts on what plugs to use so hopefully some one can chime in and say which are the most realiable and provide the best burn, spark, and horsepower.
I also don't want to be spiting any plugs out of my heads either so i'm looking for the ones that are tapered to fix the lack of threads problem!

Thanks

Or autolite, whichever is cheapest. Nothing will help the plug spitting problem or add HP.

Double platinum Autolites or Motorcraft if you can get them.

The CORRECT Motorcraft plug by all means. I suggest you check the Motorcraft WEB site for correct plug. I found the least costly Motorcraft plugs at Rock Auto.

i, i don't know, like 8th motorcraft lol! Why mess up a good thing? Stick with what spark plug was designed by Ford for Ford! I use their oil and filters as well.

Autolite or Motorcraft are your best options. If you use anything else, you are likely going to have problems. I dont know the exact reason why, but these engines hate any other sparkplugs.
