Which Spark Plugs

I need to replace the plugs in my '94 F-150 with the 351W. I'm going to use Autolite Copper cores as those are all I have ever used and have always had good luck with them. I just need to know which ones. If I do a search on NAPA online, I get a bunch of plugs listed. I think Autolite 24's will work, but I want to make sure those are the correct ones.

Why do you prefer Motorcraft over Autolites? Only reason I use Autolites is their price and the fact that I've never had one go bad on any of the vehicles I have used them in. A few extra bucks isn't a big deal if there is an advantage.

never had a ford that did not run better on motorcrafts.

i know they are made by the same manufacturer, but the motorcrafts just seem more 'quality' to me.

I prefer mc myself, but unless I want to wait for them through the mail (rockauto) I have to buy them from the dealer at $4.50 a pop...the autolites run me 1.50 from my parts guy...could be I'm not descriminating enough but I myself haven't noticed a difference

I had Bosch in my truck and they suck. They're made for foreign vehicles, not these trucks. I've had them foul way too fast and they just don't seem to work as well. My personal opinion.

Yeah after I posted I went and searched... I see there's some strong feelings against the Bosch Platinums... and then some who swear by them. Thanks for your input. I threw Bosch in because price was about the same but I may switch to the Motorcraft Copper and not have to think about it again.
