Default Changing plugs on 08 FX4

I have an 08 FX4 and I am changing plugs this month. I am looking at the NGK Double Platinum 1 Piece Plugs (CHA 7989 part Number). Does anyone have experience with these?

If not those, what would be a good alternative to the stockers? I believe that I have a 2 piece design in there right now, and I am all set-up to take them out...I just need to order a new set of plugs.

Please include part numbers and maybe a "cheap" place to get them from. I know that I will be spending $100 bucks, and I am okay with that...I just need to get them done! Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
