I had those iridiums for about 12K miles; they were fine, good gap and no fouling even in the Aero with lots of heavy-traffic and idling. They are cheaper than platinums because NGK figured out some way to work with iridium. The electrode is very thin and not pointed like a double platinum. Lifetime is supposed to rival platinum.
15K is the outside for coppers, and at 65K, the double platinums in my car were completely finished. I don't know if NGK's made any specific mileage claims.
In the 'single-double' category, they seem to be 'single', I'll have to attach some pictures when the digicam charges up. I broke one while it was out, so I threw a spare set of coppers in. I may just do copper from hereon out for the reasons Dean said - they're so cheap and a snap to do while you're waiting for all the oil to drain.
Also, no matter which material they're made of, the car seems to love new plugs more than old plugs, period.
