I have tried them all, believe me. The OEM are the best for the money and can be picked up for $80 or less( I paid $56 for my last set). I love the "OEM" iridium plugs. One of the down falls of the rotary is how ruff they are on plugs. Now people are getting 35-45K under good conditions, some more if its mostly hi-way. Piston engines 100K no problem.

All OEM RX-8 plugs have iridium tips.

Amazon.com (USA site) sell OEM stock plugs for about 17 US dollars EACH. This is the cheapest you can find.
