I'll take the last part first.  I really like AANCO blades.  I've 
found them to perform well (not much streaking) and they tend to hold 
up.  So far I've been very unimpressed with the Bosch, as the 
slightest dirt seems to cause a tremendous amount of streaking.

Winter blades are really nice if you live in snow country.  They have 
a robber boot encasing the blade, and this help prevent snow and ice 
from sticking and reducing effectiveness.  As the blade moves, the 
rubber boot flexes, and the snow/ice drops off.  Not much use, 
though, south of the Mason-Dixon line.

A problem with snow blades is that they are more likely to lift and 
chatter at high speed than regular blades.  So I don't know what 
you're supposed to do if you're driving at very high speed in the 
snow.  =8-O
