Default Spark plugs?

If I don't run the $7 a piece, 100k A/C Delco Iridiums. What's the next plug of choice for a 99-02 4.8l?

The TR55's come gaped at .060.

15-20k miles because they are copper plugs. Personally I wouldnt go longer than that, but I'm picky that way.

But at 16 bucks for 8 plugs, it's pretty cheap to replace them.
