I believe the differences amount to plug life. The OEMs were platinum tip IIRC. The platinums aren't that much more and are worth the peace of mind.

Platinum is harder and less conductive thus will last longer but will have a weaker spark.

Copper is very conductive but is soft, the only thing better then copper is silver in conductivity department.

Use NGK BKR6E's and OEM wires, important to use OEM wires as aftermarket doesn't last!

Now next thing you can do is Side Gap and Index those plugs, you will gain horsepower and gas mileage. And since it's $1.50 per plug you wont have to worry about replacement cost if you screw them up while side gapping.

I installed a set of NGK wires my car and it ran like crap in my opinion... Doing pulls through the rev range some areas felt weak when compared to the oem wires... What I'd like to see is a dyno test on those wires compared against a "oem" set and let's see the test results....
