RainX. I tried the Bosch and they sat a little high over the hood, which I didn't like.

Nothing will work better than stock. So just go to the dealer and buy the refills. So long as your car still has the stock wiper blades. At my nissan dealer I bring the blades and they even pop them on for me. They cost around $12 each.

From my experience replacement wipers suck. I don't drive my Z in winter but from other cars I have owned, all replacement wiper blades fail miserably in the winter. Unless you can find good refills stock work best IMO.

PIAA blades are by far the best. They even leave a silicone film over the glass so the water just beads off. I have tried other brands listed here and I guess those guys have just never tried PIAA blades.

Bosch are ok but they streak. Rain-X blades suck and they are huge.

Valeo Ultimates put bosch and rain-x to shame - just put a new set on my dd when the last set wore out after 2.5 years.
They have been on sale at tire rack for a while now - buy one get one free, which equals $19.99 plus shipping.
