Default what plugs are best?

I want to get new plugs for my stang. I know that ever car is different and will react differently. I have motorcraft in the car now but was wondering if there is one that someone noticed better/worse gas milage and stuff like that.

Yeah, I used bosch on my 98 burb and the difference in gas mileage was jaw dropping. I must have lost 2-3 miles a gallon. I know that seems like I'm making **** up but I'm not. I did two tanks and got rid of them faster than you can get your girlfriends pants off. I call bosch and they bought my new plugs, which of course I went back to the Stockers (ac delco). I still don't get the gas mileage that I did but it was better than the bosch.

Motorcrafts are good, too. I just put a set of Denso Iridiums in my car and the car idles better and seems to have better response, but that is probably in my head [&:]

I use to have NGK's in my Honda. I loved those things. I didn't know that they made in thing for mustangs. Cool. I was also thinking about the Iridium's but they are a little to spendy. Anyway thanks for the help. Thanks.....

Expensive plugs are rip off unless you run a race engines that reache very high combustion temps. Copper core plugs give the best spark out of any plug, plain and simple. they just don't last as long as the explensive plugs that are recently hitting the market. I tried iridiums in my snowmobile. At first I thought they gave me a power advantage, but after riding my dads sled (exact same sled with normal plugs in it) and realized it was all in my head. For a fox body mustang I recommend copper core autolites.
