Default Sparkplugs - OEM vs BOSCH/MSD/NGK - HELP!

I have a 2002 3.0Q 6sp, and want to know what's the best high performance sparkplug that suits the Audi's well. I am also thinking of changing the the wires. Is it really worth it from OEM plugs? If someone can mention other brands than the ones mentioned above, that would help too. Money is not an object, performance/quality matters MOST! Thanks in advance....

Default Copper plugs are the best conductor and the cheapest, but iridiums will last you longer and are...

safe to use in your 3.0 engine. It's up to you whether you want to change out the coppers at every extended oil interval or just run the iridiums and forget about it for awhile. NGK, Denso, Bosch are all just fine. No need to worry about spark plug wires. We have coilpacks on our cars.
