best I've found is the 16v (febi?) set from GSF, or genuine VW ones.

Beware of cheap ebay crap.

I concur with James!

Over the years I have tried twin-core or silicone HT leads and found no improvement.
I only ever buy standard OEM stuff

I bought some from GSF for about £20 and they've been fine so far.

Yeah just had a look, now the question is standard gsf part leads for £25 or a set of bosch for £40? Is there any advantage?

I bought the cheaper of the two sets on GSF, http://www.gsfcarparts.com/926vg0180
Had them a couple of months and all been fine.
