One thing to watch for:

You can buy refills (the rubber blade by itself) and you can buy the complete refill and holder. Not all refills fit all holders, so its worth checking this when you buy.

Bosch Micro Edge (or Excels) are damn good blades, and you can find them at almost any parts store.

That's a good theory to go by in the rain. I recommend this to everyone. Remember the faster you drive the sooner you are off the road which means you have less chance of getting in a wreck.

I use PIAA blades, and mix in the Rain-X windshield washer additive with the windshield washer fluid.

don't use the rain-x wipes...
For me at least they were a pita to apply... left rainbow like swirls( when hit directly with the sun at least), so wiping it perfectly clean was a chore.
