Default Spark Plugs

I just purchased a new set of Bosch Platinums 2's and was wondering if anyone was using the new Iridiums out there from Bosch.

If so your opinions...

you shouldn't get platinum tipped plugs for your car unless honda recommends them for your specific engine.

some of the higher end B series engines require platinum, but honda recommends not using them for my LS engine.

NGK oem or iridium should be fine.

and definitely don't get that dual tip crap. ignition sparks have a tendency to jump to one to one tip not two, making a dual tip plug moot.

I personally would not put anything other than NGK in a Honda, but that is just me. I am not a big fan of trying to get power or fuel effeciancy from spark plugs.
