Default which spark plugs to run

I have an 01 Trans Am ws6 car. Car has Pacesetter headers, Off road y pipe, SLP Loundmouth 1 exhaust, and a Slp intake.

I was wondering what a good plug to run in this car is. I am putting the headers in next week. So i wanna do the plugs at the same time.

Car is a daily driver pretty stock except what is listed above.

I am also going to get it tuned just to even out any hicups with the unrestricted exhaust. And to smooth out the ride a lil.

Thanks
