I have Valeo wipers on my B8 currently. They clipped right in with no modifications needed.
Pros: easy installation, perfect fit
Vehicle:
Audi S4
I've had good luck with the Bosch Excel+ blades.
Pros: good luck
Just installed Trico Ice wipers on my car and they fit perfect. Watched the video on the Trico site for narrow arm push button, did the replacement B/C adaptor, threw away the piece they said to do and BAM, fit like a glove. No stealership here!
Pros: fit perfect, easy installation

I just replaced mine yesterday, same ones you got (Bosch Icon 18OE & 26OE). Popped the right adapter on, and were on the car in minutes. It took a bit, but I tracked down the Bosch A282H for the rear. It's on the way, so I'll know in a couple days if it fits, based on the comments on Amazon, it should. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042ETBEQ/ I read somewhere that the OEM blades for the R were made by Bosch - and after comparing the two side by side, I'd have to say they look almost identical. The only major difference was in the clip, but that's to be expected since the Icon's have to use adapters to fit multiple vehicles.
Pros: fit in minutes, look identical to OEM
Cons: adapter needed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Part number: A282H
Went to Autozone and picked up some Trico blades. I had to use the second adapter, but it really wasn't that difficult. I'm not sure what the big deal is? It took me less than 5 minutes to change both...
Pros: easy to install, took less than 5 minutes
Cons: had to use second adapter
OE Blade pair can be had here for $37.44 http://1stvwparts.com/2016-volkswag...transaxle_automatic_dual_clutch_trans_speeds-oem-oem-wip._blade_5GM998002-item/
Pros: available for $37.44

Id agree w/GINCH- the OE blades are really nice, albeit pricey perhaps vs the other brands. I get 8-12 months out of a set, no hassle fitment etc etc. Complain loudly enough about the price and my dealer will take 15% off MSRP, which is essentially a garage keepers discount.
Pros: really nice, no hassle fitment
Cons: pricey
Just to make it crystal clear: you can only use the Bosch Icon OE blades that have the "Clearmax 2365" badge on the front of the package. These blades come with a #4 adapter, the older ones without the logo don't, and there is no way to clip/mod them to make them fit.
Pros: Clearmax 365 badge indicates correct adapter
Cons: older versions do not fit
Wiper Blade Stuff I ended up buying blades for $50 a pair...and by the way never use Rain-X or similar type products on your windshield, it makes your wiper blades clatter
Cons: wiper blades clatter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
