Rain X is what I use, their premium model. I will only buy them if I catch a sale. Amazon has had some good deals on these in the past.

I apply Rain-X so the wipers are a secondary concern. Stock Ford usually last 2 to 3 years with consistent treatments. Then I replace with either Rain-X or Bosch. Realistically, if you don't use Rain-X or something similar, your comments on blades are irrelevant. No wiper is going to improve vision better than a Rain-X treatment.

No need yet, but probably OEM for me when it comes time to replace them. Don't drive in rain with the mustang and use rain-x so not really much of an issue.

I'm still running factory blades on my '13 F-150.. My dad just bought some to replace the originals on his '13 F-150 as well.. Ever notice that you can't get the same thing that came from the factory for replacements? Seems that way on a lot of parts..

I like the PIAA Si-Tech silicone blades.

The OEM blades started to leave poorly wiped/streaky areas of the glass pretty quickly. One of the PIAA wipers started squeaking after a few months, oddly... Replaced it with no issues, but never had the problem before.

I believe the Motorcraft blades are the same as OEM, at least they were on my dad's Fiesta.

All the wipers I looked at were about $20 each. I had to buy for 2 cars and I wasn't going to spend $80 so I looked at rockauto.com and they have all the big names for about half the price. With shipping, I paid $38.

I had Rain X wipers on my last car that lasted almost 3 years (winter and all). I'll be putting those on my Mustang once the OEM go bad.

I went with the Ford ones from the dealer. Work great for me.
