I know everyone has their preferences....What is the hot setup for spark plugs on this vehicle? There a good common plug most of us put in it?

I've stuck with the iridium plugs to date, ran NGK's at first, and now trying out Denso plugs. At nearly $12 a plug, Im gonna say, probably not really worth it. Main thing is maintaining a proper gap, and replacing them when they wear. Otherwise, do you REALLY expect to see a noticeable change in performance from plug to plug?

NGK BKR6 or 7's depending on chipped or not. Have been running them for almost as long as i have ran the car. Great plug for $2 each and changed every other oil change

Check out Iridium Prices at Summit. A little over $7. Even with shipping you'll come out way ahead.

If you are not sure about plugs, always change them. They only cost ~$8 for some NGK's so its not like its a major expense.
