What Windshield Wipers Do You Use

I got 2 OEM for $55 (son's discount).

Seems the days of finding cheap dealer stock OEM or Bosch Icon on ebay are over. I even had a vendor cancel my $45 order for 2x 24" claiming "out of stock." Sumbitch put up a new ad with 50 pairs for $60. Complaint to ebay fell on deaf ears.

One thing I notice about the OE blades are that the back spine is pliable rubber and not hard plastic like the Icons (unless they changed). I think they'll shed snow/ice better.

ETA: Seems the Icons' back is also rubber, so basically the same blade except the attachment is slightly different.

Yes to another Bosch Icon wipers here as well. I have used them on everything for years now.
 
+5. Bosch Icons seem to last the longest and work the best for us, at least in the midwest or central U.S. climates.

The Ram still has the factory blades (that seem to work well), as it is only 3 months old. The 2018 Grand Cherokee (wife's) has a set of Trico Ultras I just put on as an experiment.
Occasionally I give other blades a chance, but I seem to always come back to the Bosch Icons.
Have not tried the Bosch Icons (WOW did not know they were that popular!) but the Tricos, in my experience, are VERY good. Installed them on my 2019 and have had them for 3 years going strong, even through midwest winters.
 
The OEM wipers on my BTS are starting to leave a line on the center on my windshield so ill be replacing them soon. What wipers do you use or recommend? I hear good things about Bosch Icons. I had Rain X on my ‘17 and they were ok. Whats the best out there?
I got these from Amazon, looks like they are on sale for 15.99 for 2, I live in FL and they hold up to the downpours we get, and for the price if I replace them ever 6 months it's worth it

I've been using PIAA Si-Tech silicone wipers on all my cars/trucks for quite a few years now and they're great... excellent performance for rain/snow/ice and easily last at least a couple years due to being silicone instead of usual rubber. They're a little more expensive, but this is easily made up for by the longer lifespan.
