Three. And. A. Half. Years later and I'm the first person to vote for Sharpie pens? Have you guys even tried Sharpie pens? They are amazing.

I used to be a Pilot G2 gel pen person, but ran into too many of them that just left glops of ink on pages. Now it's Sharpie pens (and all their colors, holy cow!) all the way.
For many years, the Pilot g5 was my goto. With kids, I can't keep a pen around, so we buy the Zebra z-grips in bulk at Costco. But, we also buy Sharpies in bulk. They don't last that long, but mark "forever".
 
Pelikan Souveran M800 and M1000 fountain pens here. Just a joy to write with.

BTDT and found them good, but not great. Now days when I want that, I pull out a retractable Sharpie ultra fine point.
