Default Plug Wire Question

I know that some of you use different than factory wires in your cars. I have been told that I should replace my plug wires, because as someone said on PPBBS "they were likely installed in a place called Stuttgart." What plug wires did you select and why? I am now running an MSD, and that calls for "non-solid core" wires. I would like to go stock if I could still use them (with current set up), but they are super expensive from PP. ~185 for one side: 3 plugs! Vertex supposely has OEM sets for $185, but I can't tell if that's for all 6.

Also, it appears that the factory wires are the only ones that need to be grounded. I assume it's b/c they have the braiding. Can someone explain this to me?

Many thanks!
