1) Sparkplugs... NGK is fine

2) 20w50 is better for warmer/hot weather. 10w40 for cooler weather.  Motorcycles like 20w50...
3) I assume you are talking about final drive gear box oil... as long as its GL-5 the 75w90 will work.  some folks use 80/90 and even 75w140 in hot areas.

I'm changing the oil, plugs and air filter this weekend for sure. Any tips or suggestions? Spark plug brands? I using Amsoil and a k&n oil filter. I do have one question concerning oil weight. The shop manual suggests both 10/40 and 20/50. Which weight would be best?

I would also like to change the driveshaft oil this weekend. What weight would you all recommend? I have Amsoil 75/90 driveshaft oil will this be okay?
