OEM.

They maybe a tad more expensive, but last 110k miles or more.

Definitely stick with OEM. They are top notch!

Don't get Bosch.

Either one, they're pretty equal as long as they are Iridium. I believe my wife's '02 Camry actually came with NGK's in it. I took them out a couple of times just to look at them. Looked immaculate. I haven't been curious enough on the '11 because it only has about 12K mi. on it so not sure which brand they are.
