I've got 2 Plasma III ignitions and have had zero issues in 2+ years with the standard Denso plugs.

Same here with 640+ hrs. Plan to replace the plugs at around 100hrs (conservative) to 200hrs (far best case). At 200 they'll be plenty worn. I find 150 or so is maybe perfect. So when you buy them, stock up.
They don't foul at all on top. Can't tell you about if you use them on bottom, but I'd imagine they'd be the same, if you have electric ignition there too.

I use auto plugs. They work fine.

Hi Dave,
I have a Plasma III running auto plugs on the top and a Slick mag
running aviation plugs on the bottom. The auto plugs work great and I
have had no issues. I think bottom plugs usually foul more than top
plugs. I know some operators have installed their electronic system
to run the lower plugs with success. It is just easier to mount the
electronic hardware on top of the engine I think is the reason most
use the Plasma on top.

Dave,
I now have over 1000 hours on my plasma ignition system. I tried every kind of sparkplug and have obtained the best results with Nipon Denso GPR27U spark plugs. Aviation spark plugs did not work well . You can get the sparkplug adapter bushinngs from Klaus Savior at lightspeed.
I also obtained the longest service life from MSD racinng coils and sparkplug wire. Call me (at) 920 619 6968 for further details.

No issues with auto plugs, top or bottom.... fouling? Ain't gonna happen. This system has so much spark, it cleans them right up.

Anyone placing any bets on Emag, now that their Osh material lowered(?) the release date to a few months?

For those who are using the denso plugs that have the 3 prong ground, what tool do you use to set the gaps? I can't get my standard single ground tool to fit the 3 ground tabs. Jay Rowe #40301
