There's been many a thread on this subject with some members favouring the new flat blade whilst others go for Tesco value or Lidl offers.
I'm using flat blade about £12 the pair I think off ebay, they seem fine. Like all wipers keep them clean with a little white vinegar now and then and they should keep the windscreen smear free.

Bosch aero twin look the part and they are great. Expensive in halfords but not on eBay. Worth getting. Even normal Bosch ones look cheap, the aero twin set the car off nicely.

I used the old Tesco ones (none flat) and they left loads of scratches on my windscreen despite the fact i take care of my cars and make sure the windows are always clean. I've just stuck with Bosch or other well known makes since then. I think one of the last sets i bought were goodyear flat wiper blades from costco however i sold that car on so i'm unable to double check for you.

Bosch Aero are fine for me after trying flat blade which I was not to keen on.
I offered the flat blades free to anybody who could collect. No takers !! Perhaps it's because they are Blue Alf |
