Contacts is really the only differences. Copper , brass , aluminum, from best to worst. Reminds me I need to do a tune up myself.

No aluminum. Napa Premium comes to mind.

Look into Taylor spark plug wires while you're obsessing about ignition components. "Lightning" is the type IIRC.

So nobody suggests a more performance side cap and rotor such as Accel or Mallory? I can pick from stock all day long, I know what to look for in a stock cap and rotor, I was more asking in a sense of which performance cap and rotors perform better with the 4.0 I6....

Performance and 4.0 do not usually reside in the same sentence unless you are talking about stroking it.
Any cap with copper terminals is the answer to your question.

NAPA Premium have lasted me the longest.

Copper/brass does make a difference when It comes to longevity.
