Question replacement wiper blades for buick?

What is everyone using for replacement wiper blades? Last time I switched from icons to trico neoform beam blades and love them but would like to see what some other people say. What do you like? What doesn't work? Submit your wiper blade reviews!!

I've used a variety of blades and really haven't noticed a difference. I've tried Bosch Icons, the RainX brand blades, and a couple of others and they all act the same. I pick them up from the local Menards because they're $3-$4 each there instead of $10-$15 each at the auto store.

X2. I've spend some change on blades and found the best deal is to go cheap and replace in the spring. Winter eats them all, redardless of price.

Thumbs up good deal

I actually decided over the weekend to stick with the neoforms on both vehicles since they're on rebate right now. $15.88 x 4 = $63.52 + free shipping - $30 mail-in rebates = $33.52 or $8.38 per wiper for top-of-the-line. Not too shabby.
