Best Spark Plugs???

OK getting ready to do the dreaded spark plug change on my 2005 5.4 engine...

Couple of questions,

Looking at getting the plugs and not sure what size???
16mm or 18mm? does this make a difference anyway?

And what brand/type of plug is considered best?

Thanks

Of course it makes a difference. One will fit in the hole, the other won't. Get the 515 already recommended.

I guess what I was asking was if the 5.4 motor accepted the 16mm or the 18mm, I'm getting a variation of plugs when I search for them on line (auto parts stores/cataloges).
