That's only a 20k plug.....it has the silver electrode that wears out faster than the oem which are platinum.....

Brisk is a good choice - you *may* need a colder plug (or just use the one they specifiy for stock/light mods) - it's one piece and if you don't mind R&R every 20K or so - go for it.
[EDIT] - I just reviewd the available heat ranges - you'll likely be okay with the 3VR17YS:

Otherwise - OEM. But R&R those more frequently than the retarded 100K interval as well.

Just FYI, someone posted last week that those had failed. Had some pictures. I think it was an earlier engine, not the 3v. I would look for the thread but don't have time right now. Keep an eye on them.

Did a quick search (I don't have lot of time either) and didn't find anything, would be interesting to know how they failed, LMK if you find it. Who ever came up with the two piece MC plug was a IDIOT.

I think that was from the V6 Forum, don't remember the picture though. In another thread the OP said thee top came off ?????? I think he meant that screw-on cap came off not knowing that some of these plugs have a removable top (cap). I have had the E3's in for 2 to 3K miles and not any problems at all as of yet. One piece is the best part !!!
