Your plugs look OK as far as deposits go. Maybe it's the camera angle but the gap looks way too wide on the left one. I have had good results with the OE Volvo triple electrode plugs...about $22 for a set of six from FCP Groton.

My S90 has 227,000km (141k mi). I occasionally see a slight puff of smoke under certain conditions, too, but it is usually only down 1 litre at oil change time. For me, that's every ~12,000km (7500mi) using Mobil-1, 5W30. I have had new cars use more than that, and still be within the "normal" range according to numerous mechanics.
