What is the best type of pen for everyday use?

The best pen for everyday use depends on your writing style, but most users find that a high-quality gel pen (like the Pentel EnerGel) or a reliable entry-level fountain pen (like the Pilot Metropolitan) offers the best balance of comfort and ink flow. Gel pens are ideal for quick notes, while fountain pens offer a more customizable experience for longer writing sessions.
