Points sets are all suspect now days but even those are at the mercy of the condenser chosen. I still order the Echlin brand out of hope and desperation. The CS754 points and the FA76 condenser should work.

Spark plugs are like motor oil. Everyone has a favorite brand but I don't know if any are better than the other. Some use the NGK brand (NGK 3112) and some use Autolite 216 but then again the Champion 844 & 854 are still around. AC C45L plugs are out there too. NGK seem to be favored these days.

Oil filters are are an item where I don't compromise. I'd use the Wix 51004 or the NAPA Gold 1004 if it still has a cartridge type filter bowl. If it's a conversion spin on type then a person needs the recommended filter for that.
