Lee - everyone seems to have their favourites, be it spending £20 per plug or £2 per plug.

My 2p to sling in the pot...I use NGK BKR7E plugs. These are one grade colder, denoted by the "7" vs the "6" of a normal plug. For a set of four I'd expect to pay ~£10.

I have used other plugs and to be honest I don't notice any difference be it an iridium, platinum, copper of whatever other buzz word you want to throw in the pot!

Maybe these more exotic materials and designs will reap some benefit at higher power levels than I currently experience, but my final 2p is just shove in some BKR7E and you'll ba happy as Larry :) and your pocket will also thank you ;)
