Anything new with spark plugs

[SLVR06GTnATX]

I've been looking to see if there is any new/current spark plug Suggestions. I can't find any info newer than 2010-2011 when I search. Basically every threat is about removal. I know all about the removal issues and have an experienced mechanic with the removal tool.

I have a 40K mile 2006 GT with a tune and intake.
My research leads me to believe Champions are 50/50 . My mechanic wasn't stoked about them either. Am I just supposed to get another set of Motorcraft and deal with possible breaking issues again later? I know the Brisk are one piece and seem to work well, but I have read of a relatively limited life expectancy for the price.
I'd appreciate some current info. Maybe nothing changed in 5 years?

they won't break like your stocks did. the design is better

Put stock Motorcraft or Autolite with nickel anti-sieze on the shields and torque to spec.
Remove every summer, clean shields using a Scotchbrite pad, put new anti-seize compound and re-torque.
It takes me 30 minutes a year to do it when I change the oil.

I'm not a fan of Champion plugs. I'd use Motorcraft. Learning how to get them out without breaking them is a big deal. I posted a how-to thread on it a while back.

I've been using the E3 plugs for over 2 years. No problems here
