Default Best Spark Plugs?

I'm looking to replace my spark plugs.
What are the best ones to put on my car?
97 audi a4 1.8T Quat.

Guy at autozone suggests NGK.
Should I go with it?

^ The BKR work great and are cheap. Even with frequent changes, they are still cheaper to run than most other higher priced plugs

So am I correct in saying that it's not really worth it to get the iridiums?
What's the difference between platinum and copper spark plugs?

Also Bosch sucks right?

platinum and iridium last longer/more miles than copper. Bosch does not suck; many ofthe parts on your car are manufactured by Bosch.You have a Hitachi (read Japanese) ignition system though, designed to work best with NGK (Japanese) plugs.
