Honestly, just go with OEM. YOu don't need anything special.

Not really, given that they last 4-6 yers. :)

If it makes you feel better, when I changed my Sparks in my R32 I had to buy 6 and from memory they were about £50ish each

Could be much worse if you own a Lockheed Constellation and need to change the spark plugs, all 128 of them😂

Just get some NGK from wherever, GSF, ECP, online store, etc, exactly the same plug as what VW will sell you just without the VW stamp on the plug.

NGKPLFER7A8EG (94833) is what ive just put in mine £36 +vat.
