Depending on where you live, I would recommend the blue stuff for year round with freeze protection. If you live with no chance of freezing, I would say something like Einszett washer concentrate with distilled water. DO NOT USE the orange Rain-X stuff, it will clog the washer pump eventually.

Audi washer fluid sensors don’t play well with Rain-X so avoid it.
