I have been using BMW wiper blades on my X7. I live in the Pacific Northwest where it rains all the time. The BMW wiper blades last over a year with no streaking or chattering whatsoever.

I recently decided to give the Bosch Icon's a try and so far they are on par with BMW wiper blades. My understanding is that BMW uses rebranded Bosch blades.

One caveat on the Bosch is that the connecting mechanism on the wiper blade is fatter and sits higher. So, when the wiper is in it's lowest (not standby position but position when the car is turned off) the connector sticks up slightly and can be seen from the driver's position. I don't have this problem with the stock wiper blades.
