Well my MSD 6A and Coil should be in this morning, yay!
Ok, I have a pretty good hesitiation when there is a big load on the engine or when the Tq converter is locked up in OD when I'm cruisin' down the highway and I give it a little juice. I know its not the tranny cause the rpms arnt picking up when its hesitating, so I'm almost sure its the worn out ignition system. I checked a few of the plugs and didnt notice anything out of the ordinary except that they looked a little white, but nothing too bad. What I was going to do is put the coil and box on it and see if the hesitation goes away. If it doesnt go away them I will just go ahead and start with checking all of the plugs and then move to the plug wires (although those are pretty new MSDs). Do you see this as being the proper way to go about fixing the problem, or what would you do different? Also if I get new plugs, what would you recommend?

Check the condition of the plug wires. If they are laying on a heat source they could burn and become cracked. This happened to me twice, the last time I couldn't figure out why my car was missing, I figured I would change the plugs and in doing so I noticed that my #8 plug wire was burnt and cracked. Just something to check.
