I commented this elsewhere, but I figured it deserves it's own top level comment.
You can take an affordable stainless steel zebra f701 and swap out the ink with a fisher space pen refill for a solid, utilitarian pen for less than 15 bucks.

I like the Muji aluminum fountain pen.

Cheap enough that if it breaks or you lose it or some such, you won't be that upset, but writes wonderfully. It is nice to have a pen where you can choose your own ink, and it will accept either refillable cartridges or pre-filled cartridges.
The way the cap posts on the back of the pen is pretty unique as well.
