Default Totaly confused / What Wires

I'm getting ready to upgrade wires and replace my plugs. I'm using TR55 for plugs. I can't decide what wires to use everything I read just gets more confusing. There seems not to be a clear winner / choice. Who should I use?
MSD's, Taylor and what about GMPP. Thanks

I have MSD's and haven't had any trouble. My brother had Taylor's and 1 broke when we removed them for the header swap on his GTO. He pulled them again for a plug swap and another broke.
