There's no reason to run anything but Motorcraft spark plugs.

Anyone run E3 spark plugs?
I only use Bosch or Motorcraft. Bosch because I have prior experience under endurance racing conditions and Motorcraft because they are OEM. I run Motorcraft in my car. Our cars are not stressed enough to justify anything other than the stock heat and plug.

Bosch makes good stuff. I've used their wipers, wires, etc. on lots of cars. Fits perfectly, good quality.
Not cheap, but often cheaper than OEM, and just as good.

I have never unboxed and installed any Bosch sensor or filter or spark plug that that was defective. Never. I have unboxed a few Motorcraft oil filters that didn't have any threads cut to install them! Bosch wiper blades are also pretty damn good!
Also have had good results with most Standard brand electrical components. Not sure where they are made anymore.

I ran the wiper blades on my truck. Loved them

Wipers aren't spark plugs.... Bosch spark plugs are terrible unless you have a German car. When I worked at a parts store way back when, people returned them all of the time because their cars weren't running right with them installed. If you are set on something different than OEM, go with Denso.

I have only installed Bosch plugs my V10 F350 that i can say i have direct, fairly long term experience with. So far, no issues.
In the distant past, i owned an 85 Dodge Omni GLH. That car would exhibit a misfire at idle if i didn't use Champion plugs. Preferably the non resistor type. I really enjoyed the GLH. I consider it to be the first modern era American "hot hatch".
I just concluded that it was a quirk of the machine. But that was a before Al Gore invented the internet and we gearheads would still share hate stories about Thermoquad carburetors.
