Surpression sparkplug wires are designed to reduce the electrical noise when the gap in the sparkplug is bridged.
The choice is your's as to what you want to run on the engine. Just don't use surpression sparkplug wires with sparkplugs with the "R" in the part number as this indicates a resistor built in.Doing so may lower the spark energy having you chase a carb problem.
If your bike has FI or other sensitive electronics, it might be a good idea to use surpression sparkplug wires.

I went with MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor wires ( www.summitracing.com/parts/MSD-34039/ ) and MSD boots (a pair of these www.summitracing.com/parts/MSD-3326/ and a pair of these www.summitracing.com/parts/MSD-3327/ )

Another popular option are Taylor ignition wires. They offer close to a dozen different colors.

If you ride with other people who have any of these complex electronics, use suppression wires or suppression cap or plugs to avoid irritating them.....
