Default Spark plug problem covered on "Truck U"

Well I am sitting at home watching the Speed channel and they breifly covered the spark plug issue on the 3V Ford engines. They were featuring a replacement plug that is not Ford Motorcraft.

http://briskracing.com/product.php?p...age=1&featured

These things look decent- or better be for the $$. Anybody using these?

Question as a new F150 owner, I've heard about this problem but why not just pull the stock plugs and drop in some NGKs or some other quality plug instead of the OEM plugs? I've always used NGKs in all my vehicles. They don't cost a fortune and are great plugs (copper though so I change them every 50,000 miles, but well worth it if the plugs you're using are breaking off in the heads).

From what I've been reading, the reason for not using NGK's is that they do not make really any aftermarket plugs for these trucks yet. Look at the design of the plug in that link. Having the 3V head makes the plug very long. I could be wrong on this but that is what I have gathered from reading and going to auto parts stores looking for a replacement.
