SPA isn't pronounced "spa" but S-P-A thus an SPA is more likely correct. See "an FBI agent" for an example.

Hah, the relief! That was driving me crazy, thank you for clarifying the usage. I've only seen it written and blindly assumed "spa", not S-P-A.

Now I can read SPA posts without cringing...

Lol keep in mind I could be completely wrong! It seems like there isn't a definitive rule. :(

No, it makes sense, although as you say there's no rule, so some will use "SPA" and others "S-P-A".

I'm reading it as "an S-P-A" now and it feels so, so much better :)
