I buy a box or two of BKR7Es at a time... I wasn't really impressed with the iridiums, especially for the price difference. Car runs slightly better with the copper plugs, at the expense of fouling out every three weeks or so.

never had any ignition issues so i never bothered to pull any, when i was younger i used to replace plugs all the time thinking it would help something, never did **** so now i just leave them alone unless there's a problem. besides, in 6 years i probably put less than 15K on the car.

So your question should be "how COLD a plug can I successfully run?" Answer: Since you are going to the dyno I would use NGK BKR7E plugs.

I tried some Denso Iridiums several years ago when I first had this Miata.
I hated em. The car ran worse despite the part counter guy assuring me I'd love em.
I hated even more that I payed $48 for the set.
As with every other car I've owned in between (Integras, Celica, 240) the NGKs always work the best, and are easy on the wallet.
And as said before, you should be changing them often enough to not worry about fouling, or "extended life span." You can really tell a lot about what's going on from your plugs, and it is THE cheapest, most effective tune up you can do.
I'm sure every one of us changes the oil religiously (if not man have I got a rant for you, I don't care what kind of synthetic you run), we should also keep an eye on the plugs.
