Spare Plug Wires

Hey guys - Recently purchased a 2020 F350 w/the 7.3L. I wanted to order a spare set of wires to have on hand in the event I am on a road trip and have a misfire issue. What do you all recommend going with? Thanks much.

I went to Rock Auto and ordered one (only one) OEM Motorcraft plug wire, I think it was Rev. D or whatever the latest was at the time. I keep it in the truck. The pattern of failure seems to be:

1. While towing heavy on a long trip away from home
2. Seems to most likely be cylinder 2, or at least more often than the others.

I only carry the one since it's not likely all 8 will fail at once.

If I had a 2020 I would just order 8 of the latest revision wires from Rockauto.com and forget about the wires for 150k miles.
