I run plain ol' NGK plugs, they seem to run the best, I have tried all of Bosch's platinum plugs, they run ok...but I like the NGK's better, haven't tried the NGK plat's, but I like changin my plugs more often.
Some other people are runnin the Nippen Denso Iridium plugs and like them.

I use Champion Gold's. They are a bit more responsive and only cost about $8
AUD extra than standard plugs. I read an article on about 6 different plugs.
They dino tested the plugs in the same car and the Champions came out on top
of plugs that $100 for a set of 4. These included platinum plugs and the
like. For under $20 AUD the Champions won.

Go with the NGK unless you've tuned it a bit with better ignition and
whatnot, then you should consider the Iridiums.

My mechanic almost had a heart attack when I told him I used Bosch
Platinums in my last tuneup. He said NGKs and and the NipponDenso
plugs were the best for this car. Strangely enough, he also said
Champions were good... but he said it's because they are the same
thing as NGKs... he actually said that NGK plugs were made by
Champion, or the other way around... but I can't verify that.
Performance-wise, the Bosch plugs were not too good. They have a
gaurantee that you will 'feel the difference or your money back'. I
felt a difference, but it was not an improvement. In fact, the reason
I asked my mechanic about it in the first place was because there
wasn't an improvement, and after the tuneup I had hard starts.
