Vette(s): 1978 vette with an 80-82 stlye rear end molded in. BW six speed & an L82... for now. Lowered with VBP springs and bilsteins. Polished torq thrust wheels. New paint, audio system, aluminum radiator... Flowmaster and extreme flow exhaust components.
Who makes the best wires? MSD 8.5mm? Who makes the best plugs? I've been told Bosch Platinums are the best but I would think that copper plugs would conduct better... platinum wil just last longer. Doing a tune up so... Thanks -Adam

Are you running a stock distributor, coil, etc? If you are, stick with stock type spark plugs. Paying extra for the exotic plugs is a waste with stock ignition...you'll never see the benefit they may provide.
If you've upgraded the ignition, see what is recommended by the parts manufacturer. MSD will of course recommend their plug wires (which are excellent), Taylor makes among the best. You need to match the parts as a system for optimum performance. I know Jacobs Electronics recommends stock type spark plugs for use with their systems instead of exotic type plugs. Others may recommend different.
