Default Spark plug recomendations for AP1?

Well, it's about that time to replace the plugs. I'm at 131k and I had all the plugs changed at ~30k thanks to the TSB about #4 cylinder plug torque issues a while back.

So those of you who have already changed plugs do you recommend the factory plugs or something else for better response? Also, do you recommend stock plug gap or something else?

How the hell did you blow out #4 cyl? Was it due to the plug torque issue?
