Windshield Wipers... Your Favorite?

The last set I bought were rain X from walmart. I use rainx on my windshield and it is wonderful, but there wipers seemed to be not-so-good. Sooo for my next replacement I want to get a good set. What brand is y'alls favorite?

I don't care for rain-x on windows. The previous owner of my truck had it all over the windows and now I can't keep them clean unless I use it and I hate it. I'm going to get my windshield replaced because I can't get the stuff off.

I don't have a preference on windshield wipers, I just get the sealed ones for winter time, the snow gets in the pivot points and causes it to stiffen up.

I prefer Anco blades. They seem to last longer than any others I've tried. I also get the winter blades like MustangGT221 and for the same reasons.

The Advance near my house carries this blade with Teflon down the sides... They're expensive, but I'm always open to new ideas, so I threw a set on my 2000 Ranger. I took them off 1 1/2 years later, although theywere STILL wiping great, they had started falling apart (Georgia tends to do that to these things) Anyway, well worth the money, you might wanna check them out...
