This may seem like an odd responce but if you look at your stock horn it says "Bosch" and it sucks. Now that said Bosch tools are awesome in my experience, but the horn makes me question their judgment on some things.

I'd go with E3, haven't but I plan to.

I've always had good luck with NGKs, but of the three you listed, I'de probably go with the E3s. I still have the factory plugs in mine, for now.

i'd be careful of the E3's , i had em and loved em at first but after a couple of months one of them became fouled and left me stranded on the side of the road because the check engine light not only came on but started to blink, and the manual says to pull over and have it towed...i was waiting for my wife outside of wal-mart with the motor running and noticed it was idling weird then pulled away and noticed some engine fluttering then got on the highway and just felt like one of my cylinders wasnt working then the engine light came on.....i replaced it with another one and it ran fine but didnt want to take any chances so i swapped them out....

Honestly I havent heard anything good about E3 or Bosch spark plugs in these engines, I dont know from first hand experience but heard they were garbage. If your gonna go with anything stick with Champion or NGK IMO, just about anything likes an NGK and Champion is what they come with from the factory, although I dont think the factory plugs are double platinum.

I had the E3 plugs and though they didn't leave me stranded they frequently threw misfiring codes. Changed em back out for the stock Champions and everything has been fine since.
