OK, here's the deal. When I checked the plugs out of the box, I was disappointed to find that the gaps were not consistant.
For future knowledge.
Most plugs ARE NOT gapped from the factory. The only plugs that are gapped are labeled are such either on the package or in the part number.
Still I would never trust the factory gap! That's just not smart or safe.
The only plugs I have seen in my experiences to be 100% correctly gapped from the factory (when labeled - see above) are NGK's & RapidFires. Rapidfires however wear out extremely fast. (not that they make them for our car, but in general)
My recommendation is NGK's.

Your expanded explanation in your second post made a light go on in my head.
