The Jetstream is the way to go for an all purpose pen.
A lot of the others I mentioned edge it out in smoothness or line quality, but they’re water based ink pens, so anything that might get wet, or anything like a label or tape that isn’t absorbent like paper will need a ballpoint like the Jetstream.
Thankfully the Jetstream is as good as a ballpoint gets while still being inexpensive. Comes in a ton of styles, and refills are available if you want to toss one in your favorite pen body.
The jet streams feel smoother than any others I’ve tried.
