None of my current cars use plug wires, but the last set I bought for a Ferrari was from Kingsborne. Great quality

They make stock and custom wire sets, as well as all the components, including heat protection and wire separators if you want to do it yourself.

Well that sucks. The ones I needed were $500 and included free shipping. I wonder what the price point is to qualify for free shipping?
I'm not surprised, UPS has raised their shipping rates again. Most everything is around $20 for ground lately. And I had to thank you for a new resource to find good quality plug wires! I really liked hearing Kingsborne tests all their wires before shipping! It's not hard to do with an ohmmeter but still nice to hear they are testing individually.
"Best" on something like LS plug wires is suggestive. Even a quality wire will burn if subjected to heat like you describe. I do, however, have a few recommendations:
- Accel ceramic boot plug wires. Pretty self-explanatory, but the boots on these are ceramic and can stand up to high heat.
- Standard Blue Streak plug wires. Great quality. NASCAR teams have been using these for years. Include "asbestos" boots.
- Magnecor plug wires. No fancy gimmicks, just a good quality wire that comes in flavors to fit about any application you can think of.
NGK wires are good, and they look cool 
A set of spacers, separators and stand-offs are more important than the type of wires themselves.
metal standoffs and seperators?
So? It's not like the wires are bare.
it defeats the purpose of separating the wires
Their purpose is to prevent the wires from touching a hot exhaust part or anything else for that matter which could eventually cause the insulation to rub through from vibration and movement.
Right but I've seen them arcing through the insulation towards metal parts, even without melting or other damage.
A good set of wires shouldn't do that.
They were oem, but clearly past their prime. They did however have separators, in plastic
I'll add another plug (ha!) for Kingsborne, my go-to for whatever I have that uses leads, and they do custom sets.
