They're also on propeller driven aircraft - used as a warning there may be metal paricles in oil, meaning the engine may seize, get on the ground asap!

if you have metal in your engine then you have a lot more to worry about than the cost of a 10 dollar plug. i really dont think it makes a difference

The metal I would be worried about is the aluminum, more than the iron. Until they invent a magnetic plug that attracts aluminum, I'll pass.
