Default wiper suggestions

hey guys, 2 questions:
1) how do you tell if you have the OEM wiper blades installed? do they have any specific part $ enscribed onto them?
2) Are the stock wipers the best ones? pr any other suggestions? I see on ebay they have "oem" aeros without the blades.

Stock ones work great IMO - they're reasonably priced since you can just buy the rubber blade insert and not an entire wiper arm assembly.
