Heck, I think I've switched to the cheapest ones I can find at Advance (the $4 plastic ones).
I used to think the Bosch ones were good, so I spent $12 a wiper for them. Then I tried these Valeo ones for $40 a pop from Tirerack.com They are a hair better, but really, anything's going to streak under bad conditions. I'd say these little plastic pieces of crud are doing about as good a job as anything else that I've seen. And if they last at least a year (they're pretty close now) then that's really all they need to do...
