Keep boost around 8psi. Once you put in an exhaust I would say you're ok to get into the 9s for psi.
I prefer NGK copper plugs and personally run BKR7E. They are cheap, theoretically burn hotter than the other metals used in plugs, but they only last around 15k miles. But when you can buy a 90k mile supply for around $55 shipped, who cares.
