Ignition components for hot weather

What are some of the best brands to get for distributor, cap, rotor, etc. for increased performance and reliability? I have no probs no (knock wood) but living in AZ with it's 115 degree days on occasion makes me wonder about the power lost via my stock ignition. I run the camry on regular unleaded not the 91 the owner's manual says will give me more power/mpg. It just costs too much. But I plan to do the spark plugs, etc. (with NGK or Denso) and wanted to know about like MSD, etc. and if they really help. I know I'm not gonna gain any real hp or anything, but I want to put the best I can afford in there once I take apart the myriad of hoses, etc to get to the rear bank valve cover, pcv, etc.
Thanks
Jeff

my opinions with my cars...
AC rapidfire plugs- improved idle quality and a some throttle response. Probably the most you'll get out of a plug in terms of 'performance'

NGK has good stuff as well, I think their irridium is their equivilant to the rapidfire.

I just use off the shelf napa stuff, or mom-n-pop speed shop oem-or-better spec parts (the sign says at the mom-n-pop says auto value, but the people there are definately performance oriented gearheads).

Denso plugs and cheap ignition components with diaelectric grease on every part that conducts.
