There is no "proper one".
There are literally thousands of glowplugs you can use. Choose one which matches the style of driving you do. I have an OS glowplug, cant remember what number but it said, "medium temperature, ideal for on/off throttle control) which is what i do, so it works great.

I use O.S. A5 thay are a little cooler than O.S. #8. I have a question to, do you use a cooler plug in hot weather and hotter plugs in cooler weather or just opposite?

Yes OS plugs will work but are not correct as they are shorter then all others!

I've heard this from several sources.

For me... I've only used the Real McCoy MC-59's.... which is a hot plug and hasn't given me any problems yet. (just got my Savage in late Sept which is already cooler weather where I am... so I may have to change in spring/summer... dunno yet)
