How about this for a reasonable strategy:

1 failed coil - replace it
2nd failed coil - replace the remaining coils with new ones
ya that works a bit better for me.

My car just threw a number 1 misfire code yesterday, I may be due for a coilpack, so we may have a practical application of this practice.
