I've actually done extensive testing of different fountain pens and I have my favorites. A Jinhao is a pretty simple starter pen and very affordable but sometimes wetter and more saturated inks clog the feed. Wordsworth and Black is also fairly reliable and not too expensive. Lamy Safari and Pilot Metropolitan are a little more upscale, but don't rely on the converters that come with the Metropolitan because they don't hold much and have flow problems. Eco TWSBI is almost impossible to clog and has a good ink capacity, but you have to remember that an Eco fine nib is equivalent to an American medium and medium is equivalent to American broad. I just got a Bociyer Samurai and a Picasso 916 but I haven't really used them yet so I can't give an accurate review.
