I just put the Auto zone elcheapo blades on last year and had to replace them this year, the cheap one work but only last a year.
I upgraded the the auto zone (duralast) medium grate (they have three flavors) I think they are call 'flex bade' then they have an areo model).
The flex blades are pretty cool in that they are a one piece design so the are pressed hard to the windshield.
I will get back to you next year about their durability
Oh and the auto zone counter people sucked... tried to sell me the wrong blades twice... I finally went out to the parking lot and removed the bade to get it right
