OEM in that engine are NGK plugs. OEM are usually better than trying another brand because they are tailored to the specifications of that engine and fuel system. The other brands look at the published specifications and cross reference those to a plug they make which is "close enough" to work.

BKR6EKUB for the copper plugs that get changed every 35-40K miles.
BKR6EGP For a platinum version. (Should go about 80K)
BKR6EIX For an Iridium plug. (Should last about 120K)
