I have tried many different ones, and honestly, the only ones that have done well are MotorCraft. Every other set I bought hasn't lasted as long as the Motorcraft ones and they also have an indicator that changes yellow as a note to let you know they are due to be changed. Also, I had lots of chatter with other ones but not the MotorCraft ones.

I've had good luck with the Trico "Sense" line of blades. The teflon coating doesn't chatter. Impossible to find locally, I had to order them from Amazon.com
TRICO Sense
Also, they actually make refills for the "Sense" line of blades... so I don't need to replace the entire blade.

In my part of the Country no blades work for long the summer heat & sun bakes them. Maybe the silicone blades but for no more than we use wipers I'm not paying for them.
I just buy whatever Walmart has on the shelf. They work as good as any.

This is one of the small number of items I will make a special trip to the dealer for. Nothing else seems to wipe as cleanly, or even last as long, as the Motorcraft blades.

My favorite cheap wiper is some off brand sold at Grainger, it was like $3 and worked great. I just put on the cheapest Walmart blades a few weeks ago and don't bother, they are awful.

I always use Anco winter blades. Typically run them for a couple years then pitch em and pick up another new set. I drive more in winter than summer, and we have some pretty wild winters in the Rockies. They don't freeze up like the non-sleeved blades, and that's the selling point for me.
