Which Spark Plugs to use

I'm getting ready to do my 60K service and will be changing the plugs.
In researching, it looks like there are a bunch of options.

What plugs are recommended? I have a 04 S used as DD. I do some spirited driving, but currently no AX or track. I might do an occasional AZ in the future, but it will be for fun, I'm not that concerned about being super-competitive in any case.

Is there any real difference between the Bosch, Beru and NGK plugs. I know there are also autolite and others available that cost less.
Even within each brand there are lots of choices. Standard, Platinum and Iridium. I see them ranging in cost from around $3 to $18 each
On one site, they had 22 choices !

I hope this does not turn into which oil is best
