While they're not the cheapest brand out there, they last forever. My last pair lasted almost 5 years before the rubber started separating from the blades.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: rubber separation after 5 years

About a year ago, I finally found good blades for my Outback. Rain-X Arch. No streaks, they don’t skip across the windshield, and they aren’t that pricey.
Pros: no streaks, no skipping, not pricey
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I tried the Trico Flex and they work great for the Model 3. 26 for the driver side and 19 for the passenger side. Installation was easy and no modifications were required.
Pros: work great, easy installation
Using trico ultras on a 2019, no problems
Pros: no problems
Vehicle:
Kia
I tried Trico and wasn't super happy with them. I didn't feel they fit as well as the OE wipers. They were a bit too loose and made noise, etc. I've been very happy with Bosch AeroTwin. Virtually identical to the OE wipers and the fit was perfect.
Pros: fit was perfect
Cons: too loose, made noise
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: 3397007620
When it comes to buying OEM like wipers for my previous VWs, I always had good luck with Valeo brand wipers.
Pros: good luck with Valeo
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Finally swapped out noisy originals with Bosch Icon 24 OE + Bosch Icon 19 OE. Huge improvement. Why did I put up with the old ones for so long? Note - Icons come in three styles as referenced up thread, A or B versions will not work. The OE Version comes with multiple adapters, out of the box it fits PTB 19mm wiper arms. 2019 Jetta uses 16mm PTB (aka narrow PTB). So just pry the #2 adapter off the blade, click on the #4 adapter, and install on the wiper arm. Voila - silent wipes!
Pros: huge improvement, silent wipes
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Have been working great and they were cheaper than the OEM's.
Pros: working great, cheaper
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: 5079279-2
I got Bosch Icons about a year ago but there was a huge drop off in performance about 6-7 months in. Haven't replaced them but it bothered me that they didn't last as long as I wanted.
Cons: performance dropped off
The OEM wipers that came with my car from the dealer lasted 4 years and worked great until the last month of having them.
The apparently fancy, highly reviewed Bosch I replaced them with are at year 2 and are already needing a replacement.
Pros: OEM wipers worked great
Cons: Bosch needing replacement
