Anco. Make sure you look at what you're buying, they sell both stamped-steel holders and molded plastic holders. If you get alot of ice buildup (like we do), the plastic ones tend to break VERY easily when you scrape it off (or don't know it's iced cuz it's dark out, you hit the wipers and SNAP off come the ends).

I'm a fan of the Rain-X, they last pretty long and work well. Had Anco on my car that the previous owner put on. They worked well.

I used Jamak Triple Edge. work freakin perfect + after install if you run your wipers while the windsheilds dry for like 30sec. it coats your window with silicone and helps water bead.

I am going to chime in and say spend a few bucks more and get Bosch Icon Wiper Blades. I think they are the best wiper that I have ever had. They are worth ever penny I spent. I have them for both of our vehicles. And we got them for our folks vehicles as well.

I've had Bosch Icons on my car for longer than I can remember (probably close to two years), and they're still in good condition. The wipers I had before that (I can't remember what brand) only lasted about six months. Before those, I had Bosch Microedge Excel, which also lasted over two years.

I had Bosch Icons on my truck before I got the Grand Prix. They were great wipers until my g/f decided to peanut butter my whole truck with her sister.

I have had mine now for about a year now, and they still look brand new. And leave no streaks, or skip. And I agree that all the other wipers I have ever owned have only ever lasted about 6 months.

I HAD Icons, but that cowl ripped the passenger one to shreds, so I now use Anco Aerovantages. Used to be able to get them at AutoZone, but they stopped carrying them. Bastards.

I can see why you hit the median, there was pb on your windshield, and you were probably trying to scrape it off to make a sammich. :)
