Quick tip: buy complete blades and keep the old ones. Use the new ones for winter and when winter is over, put the old ones back on 
I just use the standard Ancos and they work fine. Glass polish and RainX means using your wipers a lot less.
Have Valeo on the company van and they work surprisingly well.

The PIAA's I had rocked, and the blade is replaceable, IIRC. I think I'm using rain-x now, but they haven't seen much use.

I honstly like the neoforms better than the icons. In fact, in my **** retentive mission I went from rainx latitudes to bosch icons to neoforms. Don't get me wrong, the icons are very good, I just think the neoforms are slightly smoother and quieter and a slightly lower price.

it felt a little strange walking into a place called "O'Reilly Auto Parts". they stock "Trico" wiper blades. haven't seen much feedback on them.

I haven't used all the different kinds of trico wipers but I have used the trico neoforms and trico exact fit rear wipers with very good success. I think they make like 50 different types (lol) so haven't tried them all. As mentioned above, I've been stickign with the neoforms since 2009 and think they're the best performance to cost ratio.

trico break-to-fit wiper blade refills $6.99 per pair. for my car, 47-600 (passenger), 47-800 (driver). so if the first set of refills quickly deteriorates, then i still have one more set to use.

I use Michelens Hybrid wiper blades. cost 13.99, and IMO, they arent that great for the price. But for what they are, they're perfect!
Ive tried Anco on my parents cars, it wasnt that great. Streaked from first day. but for $6, whats there to complain about? lol
