I've had PIAA (standard type) and most of the Aero blades including the ICONS.
The PIAAs lasted the longest and performed the best out of all of them. If you have a standard non-aero type arm, I think the PIAAs are the best way to go. I tried several of the Aero type blades and the Icons performed the best out of them all, but they weren't as good as the PIAAs. I finally ponied up for the aero arm conversion and it was well worth it. There is zero streaking and they are whisper quiet, even compared to the PIAAs. I can usually get one full year before I have to purchase new blades.
Personally, I think the aero conversion was well worth the money. I hate skipping blades and streaks on my window after the blade goes by.

It's the arms from the Passat. I know you can get them from an aftermarket place, but it's cheaper
to just get them from a VW place. I think it's from an 02 or 01 passat. Hands down the best wipers out there. My icons always worked for a month before starting to leave streaks. I finally have reached wind shield wiper nirvana!
