Been toying with the idea of getting one and was deciding between Denso and NGK. I got a little concerned when I saw that the NGK's heat rating was a "7", while the Denso's was a "22". Did a little legwork, and it turns out that they use different numbering systems for this value. Additionally, both of these manufacturers use ascending values for colder plugs, whereas other manufacturers use descending values. Here's a nice cross-reference from NGK's website:

Neat find.

I've have really good results with NGK CR7HIX plugs.
