Cars made after 2002 or so have started to be engineered to rely on the
presence of those specific plugs, and some will run less well if there is a
different type. I don't know which exactly, because I pay so little
attention to the state of the automotive industry past about 1985, but if
you are in that situation, a little googling on your model should help.

Otherwise, it's just a matter of how long they last vs how expensive they
are. As with brands, opinions vary widely on this point. If you have the
money to spare, just get the expensive ones and call it a year (or two or
five).
