do it cold. Hot, metal expands, and different metals expand at different rates. It'll make it hard to remove the spark plugs. Good quality plug: NKG or Denso, for sure.

Mechanics (shops) do them hot as they don't have time to let them cool down but I always do them cold since cold won't burn me

Yes NGK or Denso is always the best choice. Also no anti seize on NGK as they have a coating on them already.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

You got 100,000+ miles on it already?

Don't complicate the job, use the exact same plugs the factory installed.
