I agree with Ron;

Preferences "usually" turn out to be personal, however I will relate the
following concerning Champion plugs:

Many years ago (I must be gettin' old) we had D600 Dodge trucks on the
farm, 318-3, 210HP, sodium filled valves, etc. etc. Well these engines
would eat STD. Champion plugs for lunch, switched to Autolite (supposedly
have a harder electrode than others) and never had any problems. Now that
I think about it these trucks had stump pulling torque, maybe we should
look into these special truck engines.

But I used to run Champion platinum's (when they first came out) in the
late '60's in my dirt bikes and they worked great.
