Best spark plug wires for headers?

I have a built 350 in my 91 Camaro RS and I have headers. I keep burning my plug wires and need new ones. Which ones do you guys recommend?

Accel makes shorty header plugs to move the boots away from the headers. 90* boots and wire looms to keep them routed away from the primaries works for me.

I have had no issues with cheap Accel Super Stock 4000, cut to length wires. Of course, it depends on the brand of headers you're running.

Short plugs are one option. I think they're ugly, but those heat resistant plug boot sleeves might be another option.

I've used MSD wires on our 67 race car and on my 86 T/A and the only time I've had a problem was when I got new AC plugs for the T/A they were longer than the older AC plugs and put the boot right against the header. That's been my only problem.
