Rapid fire,Bosch,Accel,champion plugs/ Which is best for my mods?

As u can see im not running a stock TPI in my sig. As of right now im putting bosch plattinum(not plattinum 4). Anyway since my heads are from the corvette(alluminum)which spark plug is best for my motor. By next month i should get NOS using 150 shot. Anyonw know the torque rating for spark plugs on alluminum head and gap size for the corvette heads on a bored over .30 305 TPI

whatever you decide, tell the parts guy that they are for whatever year vette w/ aluminum heads. when I look up vette plugs from late 80's/early 90's it always specifies iron or aluminum heads. the gap should probably remain the same, unless you have ignition mods such as an msd box etc. that might change tho when running NOS so i'd look into it further. as to which is best, you'll probably find out only by trying a set of each ($$$ ) but if you have good results w/ the bosch, they are pretty good plugs. a lot of people also like NGK's but I myself just run the plane jane AC's. I would use rapid fires, but I dont like any plug w/ the little pad on the tab because losing that in the cylendar wouldnt be good...
