Regular Maintenance

Well, I love my Saab. Recently upgrade from a 1980 Subaru (did all work on) to a 1999 9-3. 9-3 is a temperamental beast so, unlike the Subbie which would take anything, my hunch is I need to do more careful maintenacne --ie follow specific guidelines and use specific parts. Couple questions:
Spark Plugs/Wires: -- I've gathered from the posts that NDK plugs -- basically the Saab recommended plugs --are the way to go. Yes? Also, all I've ever done is hand-tighten my plugs. Is this OK in my Saab, or do I need to be really anal and use a torque wrench for precise installation.
Fuel Filter: Does it matter what I use? e-Europarts sells the Bosch...
Motor Oil/Filter: same question. Gathered from another post that Mobil1 is the oil of choice. Assuming 10W-30. I live in Portland, OR, so it's rarely too hot or cold here, and I drive hard...Gathered that Genuine Saab oil filter is recommended.
Brake Fluid: Recomendations? Source?
Coolant: Recommendations? Source?
Fogrgetting anything? I'm sure plently. Thanks in advance for the input.
Wes
