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, easy spitball shooter
- Fisher space pen
I keep one at my desk and have one in my pocket (most of the time).

Give me a clicky pen or give me death!
3 or 5 was always my goto. That being said, I didn't have to write anything by hand in the last 15 years, and I'm pretty much forgot how it's done
The good ol' BIC G2. Phat fucking lines, I've never had one clog, they're comfortable to hold and fun to take apart and put back together again while you pretend it's a gun.
For finer lines, though, I'd want a Sharpie (and not the one shown here). I don't know the model of the pen, though. I basically only ever have them if I happen to find one on the ground 🤣
The real solution is to find a parker compatible chassis that has the right shape, feel, and weight for your preferences. Then simply buy parker refills of your choice. Energel .5 is pretty great :)
What, no papermate inkjoy? Cheaper than G2s and they fit better in your hand, unless you are gripping it with clubs.
I use a Lamy Studio to write, so close to a 6.
Also in my arsenal is a Parker Jotter and a Moonman C1.
Another vote for 5, 0.7
Like those Zebra Sarasas, the blue ones are perfect
I have an entire note taking program calibrated around the ink colors of 5. I kinda dug myself that grave though. They are at least decent pens.
Also you can mod them into pen guns. Shooting works better if you replace the ink though.
#2. 100%
The Japanese uni-ball pens are sweet, ~~don't think they are on this~~ Nvm it's #1 or close enough
