USA Spark Plug Wire for Gen 4, what to get?

My 1998 camry is having issue on the spark plug wire. This is the 4 cylinders. Should I stick with the Toyota part or after market? If after market part, anyone has suggestion on which brand to use? The dealer part will cost me $100. Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you.

CarQuest has a good premium wire set. Bosch is good from AutoZone . Don't buy eXact wires from Advance Auto they are crappy.

The regular NGK wire set s the OEM replacement, really low resistance is not going to benificial(the NGK power set) with stock ignition on any gen 4 to 5 ignition system. the improvement will be on distributor type ignition ( ie gen 2, 3, and 3.5's) but not newer distributor-less systems.

normally when wires and plugs are changed is it necessary to also change the distributor cap & the coil as a preventive maintenance?

Gen 4 doesn't have distributor.
