Wiper blades needs replacing - Any recomendations ?

I've always bought the genuine Audi ones from my local dealer but the Bosch aero wiper blades are just as good from Halfords.
 
On a budget, if the later aero type then euros/cp4l do cheap ones for mk2 ford galaxy 28", they may be handed so one maybe useless (might be able to slide blade refill out of it thou) and they maybe poor quality but sure are cheap!!
 
I've always only ever used and bought the 'genuine' dealer or tps supplied blade but the last time I bought the Bosch one as it was recommended.

It works fine but imo isn't quite as good as the original and certainly doesn't look as good either as when you are inside the car it sits higher, looks bulkier and a little too 'non genuine' for me.

Others seem to be happy but I personally will be buying the genuine one again next time if it's available as it's made specifically for the car rather than being a generic multi fit product with different adapters ?
 
For the later Aero Style Wiper Blade I buy these off eBay. £9.99 inc 1 Free Refil Rubber. I found the Refil Rubber can be easily fitted to the Genuine Audi Blade. That’s what is on my A2 now. They also sell the Refil Rubbers separate from the Blade. £5.99 for 2, I think. Prices include Free Delivery.

If you are on a budget, its possible to buy only the rubber, that can be slided in.Works with the Bosch ones also.
(Remove the end piece with logo, and pull out the rubber)
Another tip is to clean the rubber with wd-40.May sound like a mess, but works fine for a while.

If all gunged up, a good wipe a few times with a cloth with IPA on it and the screen too.
(Isopropyl) cleans them up a treat.
