Cap, rotor, coil, and wires....

I am giving my 305 a tune-up and I have pretty much decided on Rapidfire plugs, but I need to know who makes the best cap, rotor, coil, and wires for our cars? I was kinda leaning toward the Hypertech cap, rotor, coil, and MSD 8.5mm wires. So what do you guys think?

Zox,

Any premium cap will work fine. Make sure you get a cap and rotor with GRP (glass reinforced plastic) and solid brass terminals. The deeper the arc chutes on the cap, the better. The same goes for the rotor. Don't spend too much money on inferior wires. It's pretty hard to miss with the Packard Electric silicone wires.
