Default Which wipers?

Summer at last, so I must be in need of some new wipers - have fairly easily narrowed it down, but now I'm stuck

Has anyone used PIAA Silicone and Bosch Aerotwin (the flat ones) back to back? There are lots of good comments on both here, but no clear winner. Looks like the wrong side of £30 either way, so I'd like to get the right ones...

I have been using the PIAA ones for over a year now with excellent results.

I have just used Valeo ones, and they are without doubt the worst wiper blades that I've had on the car Always used Champion Aerovantage before which I was happy with, but they're proving hard to get.
