Mechanical pencil - Parker discontinued the Sonnet mp last year, IIRC.

Probably Waterman Phileas, but I am not very sure yet, because I just
got it from nib exchange (from medium to fine). So, now I can start
really writing with it. But at least I have found Parker Reflex to be
good for long writing sessions.

2. What is/are your favorite rollerball(s)?

I don't have one.

3. What is/are your favorite ballpoint(s)?

Parker Reflex Stainless Steel.

4. What is/are your favorite gel(s)?

I have just Pilot G-2 07 and it seems okay. Probably my Parker Reflex
would be nice gel pen, if I bought some good Parker-style gel cartridge
for it. But I'd rather try out those gel cartridges by Yafa, because
some people told in this newsgroups that Parker gel cartridges suck.

5. Which is/are your carry-around(s)?

I carry both fountain pen and ballpoint pen. Sometimes they are of
series called Parker Reflex and sometimes of series Parker Jotter.
