Hi

I believe NGK are the best these days...

Bosch German plugs are also excellent...

Beru used to be used by VW Mechanics years ago..

I used BOSCH plugs for over 30 years in all My cars....

I did read that there were some NON GERMAN BOSCH plugs in the USA which drove people to use NGK plugs...

so, now there are GERMAN BOSCH plugs for sale over there now.

I think NGK are sold by just about everywhere now...
maybe they are the cheapest...??

I recently got some Bosch plugs, and ran like a dog turned out that they were not stamp germeny so put some old NKG's in what a difference OMG so be careful when buying Bosch.

One thing I forgot to mention ,use a plug one range hotter than recommended, less fouling on aircooled engines especially if you drive short trips.Did find some Bosch plugs made in Israel(?)
