Well, I "cheat"... my husband makes wooden and acrylic pens with Cross refills... very nice to write with and very easy to identify MY pen. My papermates used to get walked away with all the time because people didn't think about them not being theirs..... but people realize this is not their normal pen, and it stays put.
I like Uni-Ball Signo. But I am not picky. I'll take the free pens, too! I just like them to write smoothly. I love it when the reps bring in the free pens!!
Drug reps have great pens! I have bags and bags of these bright purple Zyprexa pens, and they are great quality. Easy to locate if they stroll off, too.

Going slightly off topic I recently tried to buy a Parker pen (lovely writer). Well, everywhere I tried to buy one the pen had a blue refill. You had to buy a different black refill to fit into your new pen. Everything you write now has to be black ink. I just feel the pen manufacturers are having a laugh at our expense. Yes, I bought my new Parker pen, but I managed to find a cheaper generic refill brand that fitted it. I just felt I had to make a stand against greedy pen manufacturers.
There, rant over. This is what happens when there is no chocolate in the house and I can't be bothered to go to the shops!!! :o

LMAO!!! BEEN THERE!:roll
I use the papermate Xtend. Haven't had any problems with them leaking and they seem to last forever. Have a nice gel grip to make it easier to hold. http://www.shoplet.com/office/db/PAP26500.html

What brand of ink pen do you use? I used to really like papermate. But lately their quality has gone downhill. I've thrown away some recently because they leak ink. That used to happen only if I carried them in my pants pocket where they got too warm. Now it's happening if I carry them in my smock pocket or maybe even on the tx cart. Black ink is used where I work.
