Ballpoint pens. Bic, Papermate, and Zebra are pretty much all I would consider buying.
Edit: there are lots of other brands that I forgot to consider. I'm mainly talking about inexpensive plastic tubes, but included Zebra (a metal tube) which I'm a fan of.
It's Pilot G2 05 for me.
Pilot is king
You should try some Uniball Jetstreams
The Parker jotter for me
I've had the same stainless steel Parker jotter for over 20 years. I love it.
The Pilot 30000 unchanged for millenia because it's the perfect writing utensil. Well, unchanged other than them adding blue and red ink versions.
Had a generic refill in one of my zebras and holy crap was that crap. I could not reliably get it to write off a cold start. And it was fresh, just constantly getting stuck.
