I was kinda wondering that myself. I'm at almost 80k and don't have a CEL or anything but acceleration just ain't what it used to be. I also live in an area with lots of dust and I'm thinking that might shorten the life of the plugs.  All other maintainace is up to date.
Regular V-6, or SVT both get the double plats. Every 60k or sooner is reasonable. Same with the plug wires. Here's the scoop from many years of research by all the ancient & learned CEGers for your benefit:
Plugs in no particular order, so price them out:
Motorcraft double plats (don't know part #)
Autolite APP764 double plats
Wires in order of preference:
Magnecore
Stock Motorcraft
Autolite Pro series
These choices are definately worth locating, installing, & will serve you well. Anything else & you're experimenting.
Ford racing wires, while some have had good luck with them, most will tell you they're hit-or-miss (pun intended  ).
Good luck. 
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
