I've played with different plugs for 8-valve B and H engines and the most important factor was tip extension. A lot of plugs will fit the hole and the heat range but will idle and run bad because the tip doesn't extend far enough into the combustion chamber. Plugs with the same physical and heat range properties will perform be pretty much the same. The main discriminating factor will be life durability. The exotics (platinum, plutonium, whatever) will perform the same and last longer. My latest pick for 8-valves is Nippon Denso's W20EX-U.
Plug wires are another never ending consumer circus. The standard Saab ignition system is plenty good. Use good quality standard replacements and you'll never have any problems. Unless you have a dynamometer to prove them, any "improvements" you make will all be in your head.
