That MSD/NGK bundle is a good deal.

I did NGK TR6s because of higher compression. NGK TR55 is a good match for you if your heads haven't been off the car. The provide a closer gap but stock heat range.

I went with the best wires you can get and got FireCore50 plug wires.

I would get iridium plugs because they do not need to be changed for very long intervals, but if you are comfortable with changing the spark plugs on your car i would just get the copper cheapie plugs the tr55s because they will produce the hottest spark, but need to be changed out alot sooner.
