Both are good, just use those iridium tips so your next change will be far far away in the future. Go dual ground if you wanna pay extra, but from what I hear there is little difference between single vs dual for this engine. ( I had extra duals from another car (Avalon) and they matched the spark gap and fit perfectly)

As sarsman said, both brand are prefect for Toyota. Thou some say that Denso holds up a bit better.

BTW, is your Camry a 4 or 6 cylinder because the title and post say different things I know the 04' 4cly (2AZ-FE) requires iridium plugs which is tougher than platinum.

The dual grounds were only used in the cars with waste spark which the 2004 4 cyl model does not have.

The OEM plugs are NGK Laser Iridium or Denso Iridium Long Life which have iridium center electrode and platinum chip on the side electrode. The NGK Iridium IX and Densor Iridium do not have platinum chips on the side electrode.
