Default what spark plugs, 2000 silverado 5.3 w/862's

Its a stock 5.3 litre in my dd truck. I've noticed some decrease in fuel mileage over the last year or so, I guess its time for plugs & wires. Already picked up a set of delco wires but I'm not sure what plugs to run. There seems to be too many choices. Any suggestions?

Yup, Delcos or TR55's stock replacement plugs always work best in a stock truck. They've lasted you this long, why not buy another set of those.

The stockers are no longer available. I don't remember the model # but I pulled one last week and went looking for them & found out that they are no longer available.

They have to be in some way or form, I dont think the new trucks would run very well on hopes and dreams.
