2 or 3.
I use to love G2's, but they fell off. I found a sharpie pen a while back and was shocked by how well it wrote, it's now my goto.

7, because they don't feel special. I never have to fret about my brain wanting to save them for special occasions.
I have several boxes of Uniball Eco. The ink dries fast enough lefties can write without smearing. Also it looks sleek and professional.
4, those pens are so smooth
Uniball Signo 207
Writes easy and the ink is bold and dries fast. Comfortable enough for having to write 7 pages of client notes every night, even with my arthritic hands.
This is the true answer. The 207/207+ ink is the greatest. The sharpie pens are close though, especially with the weight of the metal barrel.
I'm lamenting the fact that this scenario means I've lost all my fountain pens, but I'd go with #5 in a .38
Anyone saying anything but #7 is delulu. There's a reason Bic won pens
Can I just have a Parker IM Ballpoint? I hate plastic pens.
I already mainly write with #1s
1 looks the most balanced to pen spin with the least egregious lapel.
I guess 3. Any of these pens would dry up as soon as I touch it. Graphgear 500 0.9mm drafting pencil for life.
3, it's the easiest to activate and handle
I'm the only one going for #4? It's a uni ball vision elite, and I have about ten refills right now. Have had that barrel for the last fifteen or so years.
Such a great pen. The ink flows so smoothly!

5 has the ink i use, the g2 whatever. But I use it in the fat Dr. Grip pen, cause of my old hands.
The real question: Is that Pilot G7 a 0.10 or a 0.07? Very different pens. 0.7 ftw
Probably 1 or 2 would be my style.
None of those. I exclusively use Pentel Energels. Prior to that it was Uniball Signo. Up your own game OP.

I don't know the difference between 1 and 2, so I'm going to go with 2. 7 in some instances though. Never 6. Fuck 6.
No fountain pens?
Pilot G-Knock 1.0. G2 barring that.
When I was a server, I only used Number 3, but it has to be the 0.5 size. 0.7 still smears too much.
It's 2 for me, always so reliable and write very clean
3
I once bought a pack of maybe 40 number 7 in all 4 colors, I am basically committed for life.
But these fuckers dry out if you don't use them for a long time, I had to throw away a bunch. I tried receiving some by soaking them in Isopropyl alcohol, it worked for some but not all.
If 6 is the Papermate felt tip, then that one. I like the static tip. Otherwise, probably 3, the upstart Sharpie.
Give me a clicky pen or give me death!
Probably 2, 6, or 7. I've always loved the V5/V7, but the liquid ink is messy, a bic is a classic for a reason, and the PaperMate flair has been my go-to felt-tip for a long time now. Though, the ultra-fine version is much better for writing than the medium one.
7 because I like to eat my pen covers (please tell me I'm not alone in this).
