I took the spark plugs out after maybe 10K since buying the car. They look ok. Should I replace? If so which plugs should I get?
Thanks,

Why would you replace the plugs after only 10K? Are you chasing an engine problem?

I think he does not know the service history, i.e., the age of the spark plug, thus the question.
Measure the gap, if within spec, leave it alone.
I have switched from copper to NGK Iridium (the single-prong type).

Plugs are a 30K service item. If they look good, are properly gapped and seem to have been performing well, why swap them out now (unless you are looking for a full Stage 0 baseline)?
