Default PB Blaster Or Motorcraft Carb tune up cleaner to remove plugs????

Everyone seems to be using PB blaster to remove spark plugs from 5.4's but in the TSB from Ford they use carburetor tune up cleaner. What is the right thing to use? Also Everyone seems to be using the Brinks plugs. What is the right plug to use? There are so many posts on here of people using different manufacuters of plugs it is hard to find a common answer. If the brinks plugs are the ones to use is there anywhere to buy them in Canada or can you only order them from their web site?

The TSB tells you to use carb cleaner because it will combust in the cylinder...don't know about PB blaster...may cause some smoke and I think you mean Brisk Plugs...not brinks...good luck

I applogize it is the brisk plugs. It still says on the TSB not to use to much as it can hydro-lock so I am not sure which is better. I imagine it would take using a lot of either one to hydro lock it. They say to use 1/2 to 3/4 of a teaspoon so I would imagine as long as you dont use an insane amount it should be ok to use either. I was just wondering if people were using the PB because it worked better. Since I can only find the brisk plugs on their web-site it will probably cost a lot to get them sent to Canada because I know UPS always charges a border fee. Is it ok to use the motorcraft plugs?
