If you want longer lasting aftermarket wipers than the Rain-X, get the Bosch Icons. In my experience they last about twice as long as the Rain-X ones I'd tried before. The best I'd ever used bar none though are the PIAA Super Silicone ($23ea on Amazon, part numbers 95055 and 95050). Over 2 full seasons in SoCal without any streaking or chattering. I haven't tried their SI Tech ($27 ea on Amazon, part numbers 97055 and 97050) to see if the wiper compound is the exact same as the Super Silicone just in the frameless design but I'll give them a shot when my factory ones need to go.
Whatever you do though don't get the Goodyear wipers Costco sells. Usually everything at Costco is a great product but those are crap!
