Default Wipers

I feel like such a noob having to ask this. But I don't know **** about wipers. I want to upgrade my wipes to Bosch ICON's which I think I read on here people like. Currently have oem ones on and their bad. I checked on amazon and there are several 20" icon's that say they will fit. Which do I need? Do I also need to replace the arms?

20" is the recommended size. You don't have to replace the arm.

Does it matter which 20"? It shows 3 different model # that will fit.

I am looking for wipers that work well. I have tried the Goodyear ones that Costco sells and then Rain-X latitude both didn't make contact well especially on the passenger side. I change them yearly. Though I hate that at $40 for a set they don't work well.
