Tune up parts list...

Just bought a used 92 Celica ST and I'd like to do a quick tune up to replace some common parts. Can you guys help me answer the following:

Oil Filter: Best to by OEM from Toyota right? That's what I've done with my Tacoma.
Fuel Filter: Best to by OEM from Toyota or would an Auto Zone filter work just as well?
Spark Plugs: I've always preferred Denso... anyone know the best plug (platinum, iridium, standard, 1 prong, 2 prong, 3 prong). I know this is a matter of preference but what's the OEM specs or what do "most" people run?
Spark Plug Wires: OEM or AutoZone or some other recommend brand?
Fuel System cleaner (to really clean the injectors): What's the best "pour in the tank" cleaner out there right now?
Coolant: I've used the Toyota Red stuff in my tacoma... same for the Celica? How much should I need? And should I do a 50/50 mixture of coolant to distilled water?

Any other things you think I should check and or replace would be appreciated.

Oil Filter: Best to by OEM. / Fuel Filter:an Auto Zone filter work just as well. / plugs: oem spec is regular ngk. but iridium would be better. anything with more than 1 prong is pregaped and most of the time not set to oe specs. / plug wires: oe best bet or look for some that 8mm or 8.5mm. /Feul system cleaner: i worked at advance auto parts and the 2 i would go with would be lucas or some sea foam. Coolant: always 50/50 and I think 1gallon coolant and 1gallon water is all you need.

you should also check the pcv valve, distributer cap and rotor button, air filter, belts, and hoses.
