Default Which ones is Everyone using and what’s the best??

I want looking into changing my spark plugs and wires, not for any reason in particular, just bought the car it’s a 2000 T/A LS1 6speed and wanted to give it a nice tune up before going any further with it. Plan is spark plug and wire and drain and add new fluids. So my question is... what spark plugs, wires, & fluids, dose everyone run in there T/A

NGK TR55's for NA application Read the plugs if you need colder TR6's
MSD wires
Mobil1 synthetic 5w30 from Walmart or Amsoil
Napa Wix oil filter WIX 51522
Prestone "GM Approved" Dexcool engine coolant
Coastal dexron-VI automatic trans fluid for auto. For manual Dexron III Texaco/Havoline brand or ATF with Ford Friction Modifier
75w90
for rear end
Typ 200 dot 4 brake fluid
PS fluid doesn't really matter for street car.. OEM GM #89021182 PS fluid (AC Delco 10-5030 or 5073) is fine

Or you can just go royal purple if you are feeling adventurous.

Would it just be better going with the TR6’s regardless instead of the T55’s or are they only for particular use? Are they just better in general?
