I’ve been buying stainless ones from Oreilly’s, you have to ask for them, they are behind the counter. Can’t remember the brand, I get 3-4 years out of them DD the truck in all weather and they look original.
Edit:
Did some digging they are Trico Classic
The bus I ride is so short it is a yellow Smart Car full of squirrels, monkeys and clowns.
Any of the rubber blades will wear out after a couple of years in the sun. There are also silicone rubber blades which last longer, but they are typically beam type and don't look like the original blades.

I'm using a 17" blade on the passenger-side and an 18" blade on the driver's-side, and it is much better than the stock 16" blades. This is on my '79 Wagoneer. I don't recall the brand, though.

And a couple times a year, take high grit sand paper across the blade (remember higher number is smoother grit), to clean up that contact edge on the glass.
Just a quick once or twice down the length of the blade, knocks off the crud from sitting against a hot windshield in the sun, drying out the rubber.
Helps to get more life out of them
