I have used the NGK iridium ones, and they were great (they were also cheaper than the standard NGK ones). Currently got genuine volvo ones in, and having no problems.

If you can't stretch to those - NGK BKR7EVX are also good!

It's not about either of those things. It's about temperature and ability to cope with high loads.

you dont say, which is why you select a plug which is specified for the engine and is within the correct heat range , the only reason the more exotic materials are used is in a attempt to give the plug a longer service life it doesnt make it actually perform any better
