Best replacement wiper blades for LX?

I would like to replace the stock wiper blades, but I am unsure as to which blades to replace them with. Opinions? Thanks.

I use Anco or Wal*Mart Super Tech. Same thing.

Went with Trico Onyx. Nice, solid wiper, covering the whole windshield. A real improvement for me over stock. I think I detect it to be a bit quieter when it comes to wind noise, but not 100% sure about that. A safer set of blades is always welcome.

I bought these. My factory blades started squeaking really early and really bad and were terrible. Put these on just before the winter and were great throughout a pretty crappy winter. I'm not used to changing wipers that often, but they may need replacing again now. Not sure if that's a knock on the quality of these, or a testament to how badly they got beat up over an icy winter and twiggy spring.

Well, I'm giving the Tricos a go here in sunny Florida. So we'll see how they do. So far they are excellent. They wipe cleanly without any streaking or residue. A+ so far.
