Go to autozone or some other store and get the motorcraft oem plugs or similar. IMO it's worth the little bit of extra money to get a decent plug. Here is what I bought for mine since they are as good/better than oem and pre-gapped but some people on here aren't a fan of Bosch.

Bosch IR Iridium Fusion Spark Plugs

Be careful with bosh plugs. Have heard stories of them coming out.
Stick with motorcraft or autolite plugs.
