I just replaced my plugs in an 89 16v yesterday. I ended up getting the Bosch platinum +2. I was leery of the platinums as everybody seems to knock them, but my car runs fine. They were 4 bucks each.

Pros: car runs fine

I got W7DC spark plugs from the local foreign parts place...performance hasn't been ideal, and I've already looked at some of the other common issues; I'm considering new plugs in part due to fouling (bad CTS, drove with a failed CTS for too long, lots of carbon on the plugs...cleaned them up some, but I'm not convinced they're OK).

Cons: performance hasn't been ideal

I have a strong opinion in not suggesting the Bosch or the Beru. There is a reason that BOSH is no longer the OE spark plug in VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz etc., etc... Stick to the NGK, especially in a VR6, NGK has been OE since the intro of the VR6 six months after Bosh failed to produce a plug that would run in these engine during start up. The Bosch had nothing but running problems.

Pros: Stick to the NGK
Cons: Bosch running problems

And I tried both the Bosch and the NGK back to back, and the NGK ran far better than the Bosch. The Bosch were terrible in my case.

Pros: NGK ran far better
Cons: Bosch were terrible
