Products I wholeheartedly endorse

(not the wipers, the product you put on the windshield). The unnatural movement of the water bothers and distracts me, I think

It's the mathematician in you, it makes the water chaotic.

Our opinion here at work, after doing product and development testing, is buy the cheapest wipers, and replace them more often

That is why I spend a little more for wiper blades from Honda. Those wiper blades sold in auto stores (ie Anco, Trico, etc) streak when new - never last more than 3 months. My last Honda blades went over two years. Normally I get about 14 or 18 months before the blades leave tiny streaks of water - must be replaced.

I find that those little streaks of water are caused by specks of leaves or some other debris that is getting under the blade and that I just need to get out of the car in the rain and lift the wiper up and run my finger along the length of the blade to clean it off. Fixes it 90% of the time. The other 10%, the blade is shot and I need a new one. Or the windshield is pitted and I need a new one.
