I've used Bosch on all my cars and that's probably what the CL will get when I have to change them. I have read of a couple guys using Denso plugs.

If you're gonna go FI or shoot the juice then it matters, otherwise, regular ones are fine.

I would go with the NGK Iridiums. I have Denso IK20, but they are a little expensive.

why? how much can it cost for one of those IK20? then there's probably no difference but in price from other NGKs. unless your're running FI or NO2 as mentioned before.

OEM plugs are good stuff, unless your spraying, then you need a colder plug so you don't fry them when you shoot.

What's the difference between the Denso IK16 and IK20?

I would say and extra $4 per plug or so compared to NGK Iridiums.

Not sure, but I know that the Type-S needs IK20. I think the CL-P uses the IK16.

Stock plugs are fine. No need to change them unless you are spraying or boosting. And Denso IK22 plugs are pretty cheap IMO. You can get them online/eBay for around $50.
