Bosch.
PIAA silicone are good, but one I had separated from its metal frame, which could have damaged the windscreen. They also have a reputation for sticking in very cold weather.

+1 for Bosch,
Got a pair recently for 50% off at ECP and they are mint. No complaints what soever.
Cheers.

Thanks all. Has anyone tried these Bosch ones? Would be handy as I can get them today if any good.

I've got PIAA wipers on mine which have been there for a year and a half now and are still good as new.
More expensive for sure but far better than the Areotwin wipers I've had in the past.

Will any of these recommendations resolve my squeaky wipers? They are not quiet at all especially when it’s just drizzling.

For PIAAs, you're supposed to 'condition' the windscreen.
Perhaps your wipers are OK, but you've got squeaky glass.

PIAAs come with an alcohol screen wipe and instructions to condition the screen with the silicone wiper itself.
Conditioning for rubber wipers depends on a clean screen (including the removal of Rain-X), new wiper blades (not just the rubbers) and correctly angled wiper arms.
Apparently, a little WD40 on the rubbers works wonders.
