Default wkat kind of spark plug?

hi all,
I have a 1996 A4 Quattro and i think it's time already for me to change my sparkplugs.
What would be a good and not too expensive kind of spark plug?

thanks,

whatever the greasemonkey behind the counter at autozone tells you. Just get whatever the oem replacement is. NGK or Bosch is good. Just stay away from autoliteand champion.

I use the NGK V-Power. When I changed the plugs in my car, I noticed that the idle was smoother (but then again the factory plugs could have been starting to go bad anyway). I don't like the 3 electrode plugs, they don't give you more spark, they just last last a little longer

I am using the NGK BKR6EIX. Those are the ididium plugs and they work really well. And I have them gaped to .032
