Rain-X: been there, tried that. Did OK, but what an ugly attachment, and they lifted at highway speeds at times. Bosh Icon: been there, tried that. I like them, but they're expensive. I just put the stock ones back on, and ordered just the rubbers from Chevy. Seems to work fine (definitely better aerodynamically than the other two). BTW, I had the same issues with my wife's Equinox, except even worse lift with anything other than the stock blades. Oh, and I use the Rain-X washer fluid on everything. If you Rain-X the windshield regularly, and use their fluid (although it's pricy) the combination is really great!

The new Trico's I put on my van came with an Alcohol pad to clean them before use.

My Originals lasted 3 years.
Didn't know exactly what brand they were and I really don't like the "clunky" look of them, even though they worked for forever. I've heard the alcohol thing before but never would have remembered. Wiped them down and squeak gone, thanks 843!
