Question Best replacement wiper blades?

What are other people using? I've been using trico neoform beam blades for years and they're awesome. (been getting them at wipers123 online and they update me periodically on how old they are which is a nice extra). Very smooth and quiet and clear the water well. Anyway before I go out and buy more neoforms, was wondering if there was anything brand new out there thats notable. I gotta buy new wipers for all 4 vehicles before winter!!

ive been a big fan of the bosch brand, either the excel+ or the evolutions or the icons.

if you go to a oreilly auto parts, i believe the rain-x repels are on sale at around $18 a piece and it comes with a pack of rain-x

I use OEM wipers but I apply Rain-X if I know its going to rain. It works great.
