I have been using a single EI and Mag setup on my RV's since Jeff Rose built the first true system back in the 90's. My current RVX has a Jeff Rose Electroair system and I chose to use Automotive plugs, no adapters and Accel plug wires. Adapting the EI automotive plug wires to aircraft plugs can present some challenges. For me though, it boiled down to cost. I have been running them nearly 3000 hours in previous and current airplanes, no worries.
I replace the auto plugs every inspection, $6.95 at Napa. I use either Autolite 386's or Denso L-14U plugs(18MM). Worked in my IO-540 powered Rocket and my 0-320 powered X, the same. Clean, plentiful, easily accessible and cheap.
