I`m planning a service soon so new leads,rotor cap,s/plugs etc.There different type of s/plugs out there so just wondering if they are better than genuine ones.Just found NGK iridium claiming this and that.Also links would be very helpful.

I've run both. I moved to the Iridium 8s when I was running a bit more umph - heat. I nibbled the 7s once or twice.

AFAIK the OEM Volvo ones are Bosch.
