what type of spark plugs do you use? And, at what gap?

So, finally pulled my plugs yesterday.
I have the W8DC's in there, gap at .028 for my 78' 530i.
They looked good last year when I bought the car, new actually. They don't look as good, but not bad.
I read the archives and it seems most of the info is over five years old, but I have the right plugs for my year.
Wondering what people are using.
I looked for the recommended WR9DC/DS and couldn't find them.
Found some with and "8" in there instead of a "9". Are those the silber I want?
I upgraded my ignition to pertronix, so I am think I should upgrade the plugs as well.
Does that make sense?
Anything new out there? It seems there are some really expensive plugs now a days.
Does everyone use Bosch?
Figured I'd ask, because one thing I do know, plugs are really important and can make a huge difference in a car, good or bad.
