Default wipers?

So, as I am with anything new, I'm still learning. I need wiper blades, and I am wondering what you all have had the best success with. Funny that I am now asking about wipers of all things, but let me tell you, just because they are top of the line doesnt mean they work best on all vehicles. I had put some of the Piaa blades on a Cadillac, and that was a bad idea. The cheap-o ones from Walmart were much better on that car.

So tell me guys and gals, what say you? How do you wipe your C4?

Got Trico's from O'Rilley's just because the original ones were dry rotted. I didn't care what brand really, cause my vette never sees the rain!

I have Rain X wipers. The barely fit under the hood; I need the best blades because my Vettes do not melt in the rain, and weather has never been an issue for me to hit the road.
