go one step colder than stock (8 range), iridium tipped for longevity, and resistor type.

NGK BKR8EIX is what i use. they give me no issues.

just gotta be really careful with the iridium tipped plugs because its easy to break them off with conventional gapping tools.

Not to mention a few F/I guys have lost there engine to those Iridium plugs

Just stay with the copper plugs and change them when you change the oil when I was S/C I used one step colder NGK stock #7173

I still have two sets that I haven't used if you want them bro there yours.

I'm going with 9's. only downside to running a plug too cold is they will foul a bit faster and it might be a tiny bit less fuel efficient.
run too hot of a plug? well that's a whole different story.
