Which LS spark plug wire set ?

So I'm looking to buy a new set of spark plug wires before I fire this thing. I have the delphi round coil with heat sink and an old set of 7mm truck wires with like 60k on them. I ohm tested three wires and had a total of 80 ohm difference between them.

I made the mistake of looking up wires for the LS motor and you can spend $40-$240 on a set. 7mm-8.5mm

What is everyone using?

I don't use low resistance wires because high voltage does not behave the same as low voltage and low resistance wires can cause electrical interference problems.

I'm using the MSD wires. No problems thus far.

Msd took number 2 spot above, so it's very obviously the budget wire to go to.

I've used stock, Taylor, and MSD (which I am using now). Honestly they all worked fine but I was not ringing out the last one or two hp out of the engines either. Biggest thing, proper length and boot selection so you don't have a wire that develops a break from being improper for the application. On my latest build I am using the MSD wires and pretty happy with them (especially for the price).
