Never had much problems with trouble because of plugs on any of my 
vehicles in the past 55 years. The only thing that is more or less 
important is to gap them, clean them once in a while and replace when 
they are to far gone. I do not think I even did that in the last ten 
years or so. I have nearly always used Champion plugs as they are very 
cheap: between ?8 and ?15 for four.

I presume that electronic ignition (Pertronix in my case) may also help.
