Spark Plug Types

I know that the NGK platinums are technically recommended for the Max. I know that the NGK coppers are generally considered to provide a better spark, although they last half as long as the platinums.

What about the NGK Iridiums? What about the Bosch line of plugs where they have models with 2 or 4 spark elements?

Anyone with opinions or direct knowledge about the difference in performance between the 3 different NGK's and Bosch's would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure people will tell you to stay away from Bosch, NGK is good.

That's what I've heard everywhere else. NGK and Denso for our Max's.

Any thoughts on using the NGK coppers versus the Platinums versus Iridium?
