Default Spark plugs...Which one would you use??

I think its time to change my sparkplugs. I was wondering which ones would you guys use on a 92 sc400.
I like NGK Platinums but went to check out the site and dayam they have so many. g-power, laser, oelaser
iridium and iridium ix. Which ones are oem and best? and do you all know where to get it cheap?
Any help would be gratly appreciated.

I'm just running standard NGK BKR6E plugs gapped at 0.8mm as advised on the ALSC. I've heard that platinum and iridium plugs don't live to the expected life period when the car is modded (FI motors).
