I'd suggest going with same as stock, because they're better than those you linked to.

However, I question the need at 76k, as the spec'd interval is 120k, iirc. If you're having performance issues, you could always check them, clean & regap.

As for other tune-up items...maybe a bottle of fuel injector cleaner, if you haven't used one in a while.

Some new fluid in the tranny would be a good thing to do

Trans fluid
Plugs(check the electrodes to see if there is a good amount left.)
Fuel Injector
Maybe flush the coolant
Check your belt/serpentine(sp?)

Optional:
Brake system flush
Powersteering flush

I'm sure others can fill you in on whether or not the optional stuff is worth it at this point.
