Searching would have shown 10,000+ pages on this question.

Answers are NGK and buy from where you find the best deal.
Get platinums.

Before I ask, I always research, but here the answers are dated 2010 and I wanted to know if there's anything better now.

Sorry, spark plug technology hasn't changed. The only thing that will save you gas is your right foot and maybe weight reduction.

I found this article on how to install spark plug/coil packs on my 2000 Inifniti I30 and the guy says to use NGK Iridium IX plugs.

My smiley doesn't get used enough.

Coppers are the cheapest, but need changed around 30-40k vs 100k for platinums.

Changing the plugs is such a PITA, and copper electrode is a false economy because when they wear, your performance and fuel economy suffer.

Are you suggesting that coppers lose performance and fuel economy in less than 30,000 miles?
