Subject:  Bosch or NGK plugs?

I am thinking about changing the spark plugs on my Syncro, and I am not
sure whether to buy Bosch or NGK plugs, so I wanted a little poll on
this.

I have used NGK plugs in my air-coolers for several years, and I am very
happy with their performance. I know Bosch is the german brand, but I
have no prob putting japanese plugs in. The plugs that my owners manual
quotes are Bosch W5DTC, while the NGKs are BUR6ET. The engine in my
Syncro are the DJ code 2,1 112 hp. I could buy the plugs at the dealer,
they are NGK plugs with VW badges, and a little bit cheaper than the
FLAPS (about a buck on a set of four)

Should I a) buy Bosch, b) buy NGK, c) buy the plugs at the dealer or d)
buy the same brand that I have in my engine now? Give me your
opinions!!!!
