I'd also suggest something like this to help get your plugs seated correctly, in addition to the other tools caving311 mentioned.
Talked to the head mechanic at the Subaru dealership when my wife and I were there picking up parts for her '05 Outback, and this is what they used. He did say that a piece of fuel line or snug-fitting hose would work just as well.
If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, definitely take it to the dealership. $150 for plugs and wires isn't that bad, and they should also be able to check it out and make sure it is just your plugs/wires and not a clogged/bad fuel injector.
