I spent some time testing plugs on the rollers last year on Gertie as we chased every last drop of power.
NGK BPR6ES with a .028" gap worked better than the BP6ES by half a horsie, running an Aldon/Pertronix Ignitor instead of points.
Despite high hopes, the Iridium plugs dropped the power.

I run them & I too have electronic ignition. As I don't use the mini very often I find that it starts easier with these plugs.

I always used Restistorized NGK plugs and it works fine for me, one time i run a non resistorized plug , i didnt like how the car accelerates. Its just different, less oomph and torque.
Stay with the standard, unless if you are running a high voltage e-core coil, you really need iridium plugs to compensate with its 60,000 volt output.

Save your money STD type plugs are fine for our engines. We do not run the very high combustion temps and pressures that modern engines do or the very lean mixtures that cause it, if your electronic ign runs a hi voltage coil then opening up the gap a smidge to 30thou might be in order but I doubt you or your engine will notice the difference!
Mini's are like buses they come along in a bunch
