For the l= ast few years, I have used fine wire plugs on the bottom and massive electr= ode on the top.  The fine wire plugs are much more forgiving of crud b= uild-up.

A note about starting with EI vs. magnetos.  Uni= son makes a device called Slick-Start that uses battery power to = help the magneto during start-up.  It produces several sparks per comb= ustion cycle with a lot more energy per spark.  The engine s= tarts on the first attempt - every time, regardless of how badly the p= riming was mis-judged.
