From reading many threads here about this, it seems Motorcraft is the brand of choice.

I just bought Motorcraft SP500 plugs and Motorcraft wires for my 2002 4.0 SOHC, plan to put them in come springtime.

I've run NGK plugs in everything I own since the '80s. Just a personal preference.

I drive a 2000 5.0. I use Motorcraft spark plugs, engine oil, and filters. The plug wires currently in the truck are NAPA, as I was up in the mountains and that was the only store available. However, they have worked very well. Ive never had a problem with NAPA parts.
