- It's basically the only kind of pen I use anyway.
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.

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
I've written on Cross since middle school (1980s)..
7, because they don't feel special. I never have to fret about my brain wanting to save them for special occasions.
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.
Zebra F301
The only option. I'm 43 and still using the one from middle school.
How did you not manage to lose that

My husband works at an architecture firm. They exclusively use #2 in 3 different colors. My husband has gotten in the habit of putting a few in his pocket during the day while he works and emptying his pockets when he gets home. We have WAY TOO MANY PENS!!!! I've been bagging them up and giving them away!! They are nice pens tho... very good for drafting/drawing/etc. I just don't need 300 of them. Beware that the blue ones tend to explode the most.

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.
2, please.
Pilot G2 and BIC are both classics, but I'm a sucker for a liquid ink pen
I was always fond of how the 2 pen scratches the paper while writing.
Definitely 5, gimme that gel pen every time
If I had to choose one of these, 4. (I can't see a whole lot of detail in the image. Looks like a Uniball.)
But my preference is my Uniball Signo click pen, with micro tip. Love that precision. No cap for me to lose. And I will lose it.
If 6 is the Papermate felt tip, then that one. I like the static tip. Otherwise, probably 3, the upstart Sharpie.
Number 7 100%
if it's a true bic. knockoffs might not work very well.

Always
With a .07 ball. I don't tolerate .05 or .1 heretics in my G2 superiority worldview.

I'd pick 7 if it's a Bic, but it's definitely n.3 because of the ergonomics
