Ballpoint:
My favorite ballpoint is the clicker.
next is the Euro style. I really like the Neopean from Lau Lau. Looks like a Euro, but larger, and uses the double twist tranny like the cigar.
next would be the cigar.
Rollerball/Fountain:
Low end (under $10) I like the Orion
Mid Range (below $30) I like the jr retro.
My favorite high end kit ($30+) is the marksman.

I think I need to try another cigar pen. I have only made one, a cigar hybrid in buckeye burl, and I hate it. It's too big and clumsy feeling. I have 2 kits that I haven't bothered using yet.
Everyone seems to like them though, so I think it may be me

I've always liked cigars myself. However, I've grown to like the looks of the Euro/Designer, and I've especially grown fond of the American/Streamline American/Flattop/etc... basically the style that is modeled after the 1920's Parker (The New Series would also fit into this category). Smitty sent out a bunch in one of his trades and I was fortunate enough to get in on it. After using one, I just knew I'd like it. I don't much care for twist caps, but with the new style threading they've been putting on them it only takes 1/4 turn to post the cap, so I liked that. Plus, the Streamline comes in Gold Ti, so there's another plus. It has a classic styling, and really nice feel. PSI's Classic, and Classic Elite II, while being 10mm tubes, also would fit into this category.
I've also done a bunch of Monet's, and ordered a bunch of Le Roi's (both elegant and regular). I like the single barrel, and finial twist action. Naturally, I also like the Aero's.
Truth is, my favorite probably depends upon which day it is. I can't remember making a specific style pen set that I didn't particularly like. I didn't care for the slimlines at first, but once I ditched the center band it didn't seem that bad. Now, I sometimes even like the center band in place. They are fun to do because they allow lots of room for going outside the bushings.

Same with me. Everyone seems to really like the cigars. I'm not too fond of then though, but if they sell.........
