AC Delco is your best bet.

Yeah but im not paying double the price for them lol, 60 bucks is a bit much on plug wires lol. For that price id rather replace all the coils as well. lol They are pretty much the same thing too. If they break they are under warranty. I usually get AC plugs though.

Keep in mind I based my pick on the choices you listed, and past experience with Borg-Warner Select Wires I've installed on customer's cars. I admit to being an AC Delco purist when it comes to my own cars, however...

I've heard that OE for GPs spark plug wires are best.

All I know is I broke one of my OEM wires when I was replacing them, so I'm glad I went with aftermarket. I don't want to replace my wires with every plug change.

That will happen on any high mileage plug wire. That's why you use di-electric gease. And unless your running copper plugs there is no need to pull them on a regular basis.

I changed my plugs with only 38k on the clock, not really "high mileage". And I am running copper plugs.  Until I can get better supporting mods, they help with my KR. Bobby, I know what you mean about the arcing. I've heard a few people have problems with plug wires.
