I have the choice of:
NGK R BKR5EK
or
NGK R BKR5EKU

Are these any good and any ideas what difference the U makes?

Thanks.
What does the “U” stand for?

Are there any Denso alternatives?

Just had my car serviced at Central TVR, they used the 'U' variety.

According the opie oils website (?? Yes I know, it came up doing a search), the spark position is different:

BKR5EK - 6mm
BKR5EKU - 4.7mm
