Having had experience with all three, I'll chime in.
My current 200q unfortunately has Bosch wires. They fail. So I'm
waiting right now. Something always goes wrong with them. Either the
terminals die out, the coil wire burns at the cap, etc.
My father's Golf has PVL's. They are very good.
In the past: I've used the OEM Bremi and Berus. I would use them
again. I've never had problems with them and they seem to last
forever. Still have an old set too...
ANother suggestion: GPR used to carry these, but I'm not sure
anymore since they're a Worldpac distributor now. I bought a set of
spark plug wires about 4 years back. Made by Kingsborne. The wires
were Kingsborne and the terminals were Bremi. I still have this set
~250k later, with no problems. Very high quality and silicone wires.
I'm not sure if the Bremis are silicone now; the set I have is Audi
stock and doesn't. I would recommend the Kingsborne or Bremis.
WWW.kingsborne.com. DOmestic warranty. The price was pretty good,
too. ~$7 cheaper than the others.
When I replace my 200's wires, I'll be going for Kingsborne, most
likely.

I use PVL all the time here at the shop, and Beru is OE. Bosch is
aftermarket in this case, and I don't think they're all that
good. VW and
Porsche don't seem to think so either, because they don't use them
much.
Mercedes uses Beru as well. HTH, John
