Spark Plugs for my 3.6?

I have a 2018 Dodge Charger SXT Plus with a 3.6 Pentastar V6.

It is approaching 85k miles.

It is time for me to change the spark plugs—the Mopar-brand spark plug cost $17.17 each (rockauto.com). I don't want to spend $17 for each plug. Is there an alternate brand I can use for my car? I do not want Iridium, Platinum, etc. I don't think they will work very well for the Pentastar engine. I am thinking of good ol' Champion copper spark plugs. I am looking for OEM-like spark plugs.

I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 4.0L engine (straight six-cylinder). This engine uses Champion copper plugs. They work very well. I have heard some people installed fancy (precious metals) spark plugs and they had serious issues with the engine. That is why I am concerned about putting the RIGHT type of plug for my Charger with 3.6 V6.

Oh, which brand gasket do you recommend for the intake manifold? Mopar or Fel-Pro? or ??

What's the torque for bolting down the manifold to the top part of the engine?

THANKS
Damn $17 dollars is alot of money for ONE spark plug 😭😭
