The ones that it left the factory with! If those are physically damaged, then an OE set from a scrapper.

OE are usually Beru and have the lead numbers printed on them in blue, IIRC.
Sounds like you may have aftermarket rubbish, so get down to the scrappy.
I've tested many OE sets, and never found a dud one yet.
Wife's 325 touring uses it's original 250,000 mile leads and runs on LPG, and there is nothing like LPG to show up deficiencies in an ignition system.
