Windshield wipers?
What do you guys use?
Anyone have experience with Duralast or Valucraft?
Those are the 2 I'm looking into, cheapest and winter is coming (in FL) going to be little to no rain.

We put RainX on our windshield and it reallllllly does well. We only experience rain here in the Jan-Apr cycle but if we travel beyond our region we get rain in the afternoons and the Rain X still slopped over the windshield has helped.....

I just bought some Duralast blades. Very easy to install and they have acceptable performance during the few times I have used them. They were very cheap I think around $8 for the whole blade.

We still have the originals. Ours are 3 1/2 months old with 7,400 miles. They work very well for the little that we've used them. Any chance someone knows what Ford installed on these from the factory (now I'm curious)?

This is what I use. They are a little expensive but I need them living in Western Washington. They are absolutely amazing, and they last forever.

Getting ready to throw some winter blades on, as we just got our 2nd snow of the year this past weekend. The summer blades are worn anyways, so need to change. Usually I buy the mid range priced brand/blade. I've tried the high end bosch blades before, and they worked no better and wore out quicker. The cheapies always seem to wear out too quick and start running within a month or two.

I have put duralast on twice and they lasted less than a year. I have the Michelin Lattitudes that someone above mentioned from the sears link. I bought them at Walmart for $12 a blade. Personally I think those of you that spend $3000 in wheels/tires, lift kits, etc and are too cheap to spend $30 on a good set of wiper blades so you can see need to rethink priorities.
