Was your reply directed to my post? If you so, then you don't know. I can't tell you if a plug is too hot or cold based on who makes it. There is a temp range indication in the part number. If you want to know what temp range it is, you need to refence that.

Everyone seems to love NGK's. They're realatively cheap and seem to produce good results (platinum versus standard is really just a difference in life span, platinum costs more, and gets changed less, I don't think there's a big performance difference). I had some cold bosch platinum plugs from the previous owner (temp range 7 which is two colder than stock) which were fairly gummed up when I removed them. I replaced them with some NGK V-powers (heat range 5 which is stock) and really didn't notice any difference. I have yet to remove them to check how they are wearing though.

By the way, I'm not sure where you get your misinformation but all plugs I know of incorporate "crap-o" ceramic. The platinum is only the electrode, it is still set in ceramic. Standard, platinum, iridium...all have ceramic in their construction. Read the link dammit!!!^^^

Edit- I think I may have originally had my temp range for the plugs backwards. I switched it to read 5stock, 7=2colder which I now think is correct. I apologize since I changed these last spring and haven't thought about plugs since. I THINK these are the correct values, though I don't have a manual with me at work. If 5 isn't stock someone please post what is. I know 5 and 7 are the values, I just can't remember which was which.
