Default Spark plugs

It's almost time for the beast's first spark plug and oil change. What plugs are you guys running, and is a little dab of anti-seize on the threads worth the bother?

Antiseize prevents galling and keeps the plug from seizing in the hole.

If you don't use it you stand a chance of someday pulling your plugs out and the threads from the head will be there too. Any auto parts store has it, just ask for anti-seize.
