I am curious, what kinds of pens did he mostly use and what kind of
fountain pen did he sign important bills and documents with? I think
somebody once commented on here that he did an advertisement for a pen
company in the 1940s?

I think most important documents are signed with Presidential Seal
ball points that are distributed to the bill sponsors or key people
involved as souvenirs (this is from memory from what someone else
said, so this is not remotely authoritive). It would be more
significant anyway (IMO) to find out that someone like Reagan kept a
journal or similar in fountain pen.

Just someone on two wheels...

In "La Gaceta del Club" - a fountain pens magazine in Spain- I saw
some pics of R.Reagan and Gorbachev signing with Orange Duofold
Rollerballs.
Bush Senior also appears using an orange Duofold (don't know whether
it is a rollerball or a fountain pen; the pic doesn't show the nib)
