I have a 1999 A.C.E 1100 and the owners manual calls for either DPR7EA-9 or X22EPR-U9 and i was wondering what brand of spark plugs do you guys recommend using and are there any brands to stay clear of?

Ngk have always been good plugs.

Auto Zone has Champion ones for $1.99. Anyone have anything negative to say about these?

Your bike came w/ NGK's, why not put them back in? .60 cents more.
Buy NGK Nickel Spark Plug (DPR7EA-9) 5129 at Advance Auto Parts

Ive always run NGKs On all my bikes dirt bikes included.. I think they are great plugs for the money

Yes i do know that. I'm going through the whole bike doing all the maintenance items since I bought the bike used with 30k miles i'm not sure when the last time everything was done. So i'm trying to get it all done as cost effectively as i can. I'm not going to sweat spending a little more for better things but i'm not going to go out and get the most expensive replacement parts and fluids if it's not going to make much difference.

you should ONLY use NGK or Denso.

LIke the man said, NGK or Denso only. I used Champions in an old bike I had and it ran so hot it holed a piston.
