6, cause it’s a gel pen. For a pencil, not really bothered by these options…probably 2.

I never really got to use good mechanical pencils so I don't know much except... Not 7.
Number 3. I already did two degrees with it.
Only Faber-Castell for me
#7, it doesn't push up when you press on it.
Does it count if I've already used #8 exclusively for the last 10 years.
My current pencils in use are a Pentel graph 1000 for pro in .3mm which is my top choice. Then I have a kokuyo enpitsu in .9mm which is very cheap and comfortable to use, and a Sheaffer twist mechanical pencil thing that is just really fun to use and has a nice heavy metal body.
I can't say I would choose any of the above pencils, I don't even see any lead holders (clutch pencils)!
After 25 years of writing Japanese and trying many cheap and expensive options...
「Zebra Clip-on multi」
is my forever pencil (+pens).
i love my kuru toga, but i don't really write much anymore. i do still like doing sketches in my sketchbook, and i'm biased towards mechanical pencils, so it's a #1 for me.
They're all wrong. I don't see a Blackwing up there.
Pencils are terrible, pens are the superior writing implement.
Graphgear 1000, without a doubt. Such a great pencil, and I love that it is weighted. It feels so much more natural writing/drawing, at least to me, with the Graphgear.

either kuru toga, or a zebra one I had for a long time before an exchange student gave me the kuru togas
Mirado Black Warrior all day.
#3 for writing.
2 although 6 is also pretty good from my experience.
Already made up my mind and got a rotring 600. Plan to use it till the brass erodes
reject mechanical, embrace wood.
