Other than cutting out the muffler and turning your otherwise nice Miata into a ricer cop-magnet, what are your other mod plan?

If i were to do it for you, i would tell you to change the water pump. I am not sure about parts interchangeability, but if the one on my 95 (with a 99 SB in it) would work, i would just take yours and swap it for a fresh one, free of charge

Almost all engine parts look "good" until they fail. It's a BAD idea not to change the water pump when you do the timing belt. You probably won't do a belt again until well after 150k, and I bet you it won't "look" any different bolted to the front of the engine than it does now. Sometimes they leak and sometimes they grenade internally with no warning and you fry your engine or warp a head before you notice. DO THE WATER PUMP EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE THE TIMING BELT or can guarantee you'll pay to do it twice.

In a week or two, when you've decided on the route you want to take, the budget you have, and how much work you personally can do, start another thread with a title like "Build questions" where you outline your plan and ask for advice... be specific with the parts you want to buy and why, how you've weighed the pro's and con's vs. other parts and let us tell you where we see room for improvement.
The advantage of coil-on-plug or COP over a wire is that the coil is directly mated to the spark plug... which promotes better energy transfer than running it down a long wire. Theoretically, you get a more powerful spark, which promotes better combustion and allows you to run a larger plug gap without blowout. Do a title search for the word COP or COPS and read up.
