Iridium or platinum plugs?

I have a 05 Civic with 130K KM and I am replacing the plugs. I can get NGK Iridium plugs cheaper then the stock NGK Platinum plugs. What would be the best choice? I have read that Iridium last longer and are better in all aspects?

I've always defaulted to iridiums. Haven't read much in the way of plat plugs, only that bosch plats suck. lol. If you can get denso or NGk irids for cheap, i'd go that route.

You won't see any difference but sure go for it if they're cheaper. Just make sure you get NGK plugs
