Summit has their own brand, nice set and includes a crimper too for a custom job.

I work at Autozone and their aftermarket parts are almost always more expensive than Summit or Jegs. I got my MSDs from Summit for somwhere in the neighborhood of $65.

I bought the MSD 8.5 wires for about $60. They came with free looms (which suck).
