Default Spark plug/spark plug wire

On a modified 1978 930, what are the best spark plugs and spark plug wire for it? From what I read it looks like the Bosch WR6DPO to be the number one contender but I rather go with a Iridium spark plug, they seem to have better review and performance. As of the spark plug wire, the Magnecor seem to have a lot of BUzz but should we go for it? Are my braided wire better or lesser performance? A thought what about keeping my braided wire and just changing the spark plug connectors? How often are the spark plug wire suppose to be change or can you keep it as long as it is doing a good job?

I was thinking of making high quality 11MM spark plug wire with high quality ends. What are your thoughts?

I ended up putting after market ones on .. then I put back my originals after cleaning them up as the car looke so much better with original stuff on it. The gound braid was Porsche enginners idea as they thought this may prevent air boxexplotions in the CIS system. I have had no issues with my wires in the time i have had the car.
As far as plugs go i would suggest just going with copper plugs that were specked for the car. I think that is what most of us are doing.
