Default which spark plug for my build.??

this is my first turbo build, i ordered a peakboost kit yesterday its on backorder right now, but i got time to save for the rest of my parts, and im a little curious on the spark plug... of course ngk's.. just dont know about iridium or vpower.. an the heat range an gap.. if anybody can rec. a good part number with gap that would be great.. my setup is simple, stock b16 block, skunk2 manifold, gsr cams, peakboost kit, t3/t4 57 trim.. power goals.. i would like to see 300-350whp, that is what i would like to see on the stock block, but am going to go with tuners rec. for long life an reliable as well as fast..

Regular $2 NGK BKR7e is what alot of people use including myself, gap differs from every car but I think .025 is a good starting point, mine are gapped at .017

BKR7E 6097 NGK, like stated above, gap will be different with everyones setup, my buddies 84mm type R with oem ignition and T70 turbo is gapped at .018, if not it gets bad ignition breakup as soon as boost comes in.
