I'm not expert with tires either.

But as for wiper blades..

I believe any should do.
Just go to Auto Zone, Pep Boys, Checker, any auto parts store and just buy the ones they have.

tires.. your preference.

wiperblades.. also your preference, but you can't go wrong with bosch.. and bracketless.

that also works.. you keep your bracket, and just slide off the old rubber and slide on the new ones... probably a bit cheaper to do it that way too.

I'd shop around at www.tirerack.com and read the different reviews. I wouldn't go with the Bridgestones as arn't that good of a tire. Michelins are a great tire but they will cost you big bucks. If you have the money you might want to consider buying snow tires and summer tires. I ended up buying Blizzaks since I lowered my car and I was very impressed with them. I didn't get stuck once!

you could try the anco contour wipers, very good. it's a frameless wiper (like bosch icon, but it actually works well)

and yes bosch is really bad, once they moved all production to china, really bad quality. Guess that's what you get for cheap production.
