IMHO, (21 yrs of 240 ownership and maintenance) the best plugs are copper NGK that you change every 30k miles. (BP6ES or BPR6ES for non-turbos, depending on whether your year of 240 called for resistor plugs or not). $2 each at my local NAPA store.

I use a light smear of graphite anti-seize and pull the plugs about once per year to check compression and plug appearance.

Sorry to sound cynical, but so much of this high priced ("Unobtainium!", "Computerized!", "Space-Age Technology!") stuff out there represents the triumph of marketing over engineering, yields very little if any improvement over the tried-and-true, and is a poor value for your money. $12 spark plugs in a 240??? Sheeesh.
