Normally, I buy the red boxed Duralast from Autozone:
Duralast Wiper Blade (Windshield) DL-20 - Read Reviews on Duralast #DL-20
These units (conventional frame style) have served the Park Avenue well for the most part. The first year is great usually, but by the second year, they need to be cleaned off before they are effective, and the passenger side streaks thanks to blade deformation caused by the wiper blade hanging off the edge of the windshield about an inch while parked.
This last round, I fitted Walmart Supertech specials on both the Regal and the Park Avenue. They have been complete crap since the day I put them on, and it'* time for them to go.
For the cost of going another round with the known quantity, the Duralast Red Box units, I can order Trico NeoForms, and have them shipped to my house. These units appear to be Upbrand Beam style blades, but, I have no idea how they work, much less how the beam style even performs on our cars.
What does everyone use around here, what works, and what doesn't? What have you noticed, and what have you learned?

Can't really help on a suggestion for the "best" blades. I've tried different brands over the years, I've had the best luck with Trico Exact Fit. But even those are not what they used to be in my opinion.
Rock Auto is having a closeout sale on wiper blades now, might find a good deal there.
