Default Spark plugs?

hey guys which kind of plugs should i run? its a mild built 383 used for a DD and will be runned in NC for the next ten months. what is your best suggestion. mind you this car is on a budget due to needing to be done in two weeks. i always ran autolite 106 just cause they are a few bucks and i have never had a problem with them. but just wondering if it would make that much of a difference to change the plugs i use to something a lil better

They're reliable and provide good spark.

They're like $2.25 each.
