get the original finewire platinum from motorcraft for plugs and upgrade distributor/coil pack with 9.5mm wires or something equivalent.

they wont really make any difference unless you have a 1 of 2 things. 1 being the current ones on your car are bad. and 2 being a rather extream set up where you need to be able to have more spark so that you can avoid spark blow out. but other then that you don't need them.

I have autozone wires on mine with Autolite plugs. I bought the Autozone brand because they were out of the MSD for my car. Im kind of glad now because I doubt I would have noticed the difference with my set up anyway. It saved me like $40 going the AZ route. If I had a bunch of $$ to blow I'd get MSD though.

I have looked all over for the feedback but could not find it on here or any other forums. The one little tid bit I found was on the AEM forums about them doing a study of aftermarket coils and they said that the MSD and SD failed under high heat due to the solder melting. Don't know if this helps.

i have not had a problem yet with the coil or wires, the wires look mean bc they are so big. and they are dont rub the headers either.
