I wouldn't say there is a best. There are definitely worse.
Just use the proper plugs (no gimmic plugs like Rapid Fires, +2 or +4's.

If you go with premium product you'll be okay. Value line stuff is more like OE and works great when everything is brand new. By everything, I mean the whole car.

I remind people that you get what you pay for. Discounted parts are just that. The only deal you get on parts is when you work for a parts store. Any other deal is just less quality product.

Haven't had a chance to take it all in.

Did you do most at once?
Any gains out of it all? Other than the joy of playing that is.

I'm using the Accel COP's because mine went bad and they were half the price of OEM. I've been running them almost 2 years and they have been working great!!!

They best ignition setup is the OEM setup. Accel, MSD, etc will offer no benefit until you start making SERIOUS power. There are far better gains to be had from doing a tune, exhaust, cai, etc than there is from the ignition system. So if your motor is purring just fine, put your money towards something else.
