Back when I started back into the business, simply based on years of experience, my choices in order of preference would have been:
Bosch
NGK
Nippondenso (Denso)
and after a LONG thought, in the event nothing else was available:
Stens (Just because they were cheaper than Champion)
Champion
I ended up with NGK because they were the most readily available through my distributor channels, and were more frequently used (not counting champion) in the machines I was working on (Echo, Polaris) But if I had found a reliable supplier with decent pricing, I'd have gone with Bosch first (and only stocked NGK for the BPMR8Y which has no direct cross reference for anything - made specifically for Echo/Shindaiwa) I liked Denso, but just found their numbering system a little too confusing to suit me. (Much like Zama carburetors and kits!) so they came in 3rd.
