Agree that the topic is subjective.
I prefer fountain pens over ballpoints, etc. I think they tend to write better, but also, what is the point of having a $2.00 refill in a $200+ pen?
I like the Montblanc's though I feel that they are a little overpriced for what they are. You can usually get other fine brands of equal or better quality for the same price. However, no other company has the brand recognition factor of Montblanc.
My two most often used pens are an Omas 360 and a Namiki (pilot) vanishing point. The Omas 360 has a very cool shape and is quite comfortable to hold and write with. The nib is buttery smooth. The vanisihing point is waay cool- a retractible fountain pen. Very useful for taking notes in meetings.
I also have a Pelikan M800, which is a great pen, and a Montblanc 144 which was given to me by my wife on our engagement.
