OEM Factory have been the best.
Bosch have always been way overpriced and terrible from what I have found but people love them.

I buy Michelin from Costco when on sale and stock up. I also have bought a bunch from rock auto. Just some cheap closeouts. They were so cheap that I just changed them every 3 months or so. I found that way worked out the best as I always had new blades on and the price I paid for a year's worth was still less than 1 Bosch blade.

Also I upsize and run 24 inch blades on both.

I've been keeping my factory ones going by soaking in aerospace 303 every 6 months or so
I also give mine a wipe with 303, keeps them soft and flexible and protects from UV degradation. Makes them last a long time.

303 used to make a wipe, it came like a wetnap you’d get with chicken wings lol, but I can’t seem to find them anymore

Tried the ICONs on prior vehicles and liked them. The set I bought for my F150 were garbage out of the box. Latest set are Trico Neoforms. So far so good.

I used Bosch Icons for years on several vehicles. I hate streaks. I can tell you from decades of experience they used to be the #1 wiper you can get. The quality is no longer what it used to be. And for the price I would find something else.

What I liked about them was the design. No exposed hinges or anything and they didn't float off of the windshield on the interstate. But they do not seem to be as long term durable as they were in the past. I doubt I will spend that money again.

I've been using RainX Silicone Endura on our other vehicles, and they are really nice. Not ridiculously expensive for silicone blades, either.
