  Erm, spark plugs ain't gonna do too much to performance. But I'd say go for a reputable brand, for efficency and quality.

  Just use NGK. Don't bother with 'performance' brands, as they make naff-all difference for the most part.

  I was looking at the NGK V Groove ones that are supposed to create a slightly larger spark, and improve MPG figures.
  
  Don't know if it's just marketing hype or for real

  A good spark is a good spark. Everything happens so quickly, any gimmicks are rather pointless.
  
  Don't get me wrong, different plugs can make a difference. Especially if you're in a turbocharged car, and have wound the boost up - a colder grade plug can last much longer, and be more reliable. But as far as the gimmicks go... useless in an average car.
  
  Look at it this way - if standard spark plug designs work properly at 12000rpm in my motorbike, chances are they'll be working very well at 6500rpm in your car.
