Bosch Micro Edge Excel, you should be able to get them at any auto parts store. Make sure that your washer fluid reservoir is full, and that you're using the stuff that doesn't freeze.

You'd have to order these, but my recommendation is for Valeo Ultimates;

I used a set for ~3.5 years on my STi/Forester, and they still worked well. Tire Rack also has a "buy one, get one free" deal.

Silblade rock. http://www.silblade.com/

Silicone wiper blades leave a little bit of silicone on the windshield after every swipe. Provides a minor Rain-x like affect

There is Rain-X washer fluid. Dilute it by half and you will be good.

the valeo ultimates from tirerack are good. i've had em on for about 5 months, couple trips to the snow and they were fine. can't beat a buy-one-get-one free deal either .

PIAA blades. Bosch suck after a year or less.

Get PIAA's at Winchester Auto.

I've never had a set of Bosch blades that lasted longer the 6 months without starting to streak.

I use the new Rain-X washer fluid additive, and it works great with my PIAA super silicone wipers.
