Default Best spark plug type for 98

Hey quick question, just bought a 98 and looking to get it new spark plugs. I use standard manufacturer suggested champions in my 91. I forget the model; but would these be fine in the 98 as well?

no worries with Champion or Autolite in my experience, have used them both in my '99 4.0l. No real difference in electrode wear or engine performance.

Are the Copper Plus an issue? My dad doesnt think they're good for the engine or something but I just had these in my 91. Autolites better?

Champion Coppers. NO need for fancy "platinum" plugs. they dont do anything.

Alright thanks. Put the Copper Plus in and slightly oversized the gaps to a .40. Seems good to me.

I use coppers in everything. Lawnmower, Corvette, Cherokee. Typically NGKs. But to each their own, if one wants to spend a ludicrous amount on "platinum" spark plugs, go for it.
