Default Under Turbo Header spark plug wires?

What are you guys running for under header/manifold spark plug wires on turbo setups? I've burnt a few on a new set of Taylors spiral core 73061 and these things are $100 now. Plus it fell apart to easily and makes me feel like the quality might not be there anymore. I was looking at Moroso and MSD street fire. I only need 8mm DIA, 90* plug boots and they need to be customizable as I'm running relocated coils. $100 isn't crazy but these didn't last but maybe 2 years. The problem with the Moroso is that they come with straight boots so I would need to purchase 90* boots and crimps.

I'm using a combination of summit brand and ict billet brand (looks like they came from the same factory) 5ft long cut to fit wires. I used ceramic boots on the plug ends, but that may be overkill.

I agree and think the ceramic boots are not necessary. Mine burn like 2-4" from the plug boot as they move around and lay on the block hugger header. Have you ever heard of Ton's performance on ebay? https://www.ebay.com/itm/185285879996
