GM actually DID NOT skimp out on the ignition system in these cars. The stock wires are quite good and usually if you NEED to replace a wire just get the stockers. Spending 150 dollars in wires is just that, wasting 150 bucks to look cool.

It's mostly if you want colored wires to have a pretty engine bay or not

I've heard nothing but bad out of the MSDs. Including reliability problems to go along with power output. GM actually did a very good job with the LSx ignition.
I heard/seen the same thing/results about our old 3.8 counterparts and their wires! I must agree with ya on this!

Supposedly the heat sink'd coils are a little hotter than the others.
