So the Iridium is the way to go..? I didn’t see much benefit vs the platinum. I don’t really care about them having a longer life, but are there other benefits?
only advantage is extended life of them

For boosted guys, Platinum and Iridium plugs perform at a lower level than copper spark plugs, because they are less conductive and they tend to overheat. However, the overall longevity of these two types of metal is better than copper plugs. In reality, copper has the best performance of all three and the worst longevity.
