NGK, Beru both great plugs. Get the one recommended for your specific year. Try a Porsche parts dealer rather than a generic spark plug dealer.
There are Porsche dealers like the one listed above that will give better prices. Or try Pelicanparts.com for plugs, they have the part numbers in their catalog for each year.
I would also add that you should not use Denso Iridium plugs as I have heard of multiple incidences of the electrode breaking off into cylinders and trashing motors.

Ha! I'd love to see the look on my wife's face when I tell her I'm quitting it all and hitting the road as a stand up.
On a serious note, why would anyone choose a plug other than OEM? Is there an expectation of better performance?
And WTF is up with that snake looking split fork plug?

Copper, by far, is the best thermal conductor available and their tip design transfers more heat away than others. They also cost $30 for all six plugs, so why not?
