Default Spark Plugs and wires

Ok guys I guess Im committed to changing my spark plugs and wires now. I completely ripped one of the wires out of the spark plug rubber sealer thing and now Im wanting to buy all new wires. So my question is this, what are some good wires to get for the cherokee? I was thinking about getting MSD but Im not really sure because of the price tag. Any help would be appreciated.

A few guys on here have the acell superstock wires. I have regular old wires from any auto parts store and I don't see any reason why they wouldn't do just as good. There are a few opinions on plugs however some have had trouble out of platinum ones like e3s. I said this in another post and Ill say it here to, this 4.0s aren't high performance and don't have a problem with spark so a new working spark plug 1.79 plug will perform just as good as a 7.99 plug in my opinion.

Just put some good ol' Autolite plugs in it. Don't waste you money on platinum, or E3, or any of that other crap. If those plugs did everything they say they did, Jeep would have installed them from the factory. It is only the guys with coil on plug, or wasted spark systems that should think about platinum plugs. Premium wires for the local parts store will good enough for a stock ignition.
