I've had the best luck with the OEM blades from the dealer actually. I find they last the longest, about a year, and work the best. I tried the Valeo Ultimates from Tirerack and while they look really sleek I was really not impressed. They had a ton of slop in the clip so the blade could rotate enough on the hook to shimmy A LOT. They were also extremely squeaky. The upward swipe was amazingly clear but then the downward swipe they shimmy squeaked squawked and smeared like nothing else. I kind of want to try the Bosch Icons now but don't want to blow another $35 on wiper blades that suck. Just my experience, maybe others have had better.
