Have always had best performance out of OEM wipers. The best performance, on my RX, came from always using RainX wiper fluid and keeping the windshield treated with RainX about every other month. My LS had a special water repellent windshield and OEM blades were never a problem. I have also found OEM blades are the quietest.

Ditto...seems that OEM rubbers are better....and when they are worn out, use alcohol (wipe wipers with alcohol) and will extend the wipers for months....
