NGK Iridium - ZFR6FIX-11
NGK Platinum - PZFR6F-11
Denso Iridium - IK20
I always go with NGK Iridium. You don't need Platinium and Denso Iridium are more expensive for essentially the same performance.

Why don't you need Platiniums?

Platinums last longer, but are overkill if you're servicing the car regularly.

Oh ok, I was thinking of getting them. I'm not going to regularly change the plugs (once a year) so gona get platiniums.

I think platinums are rated for about 50 or 60 thousand miles Nitin. Once a year you'll be fine with Iridium.

http://www.sparkplugs.co.uk/ are cheap for platinums (£45). Last time round I think my platinums were £60 odd. Iridums are way cheaper though at almost half the price.
60K on the platinums and 20K on the Iridium.
