I usually write in pen, only reason I'd use pencil is if I know I need to erase.
So... #5 I think. Simple, reliable, easily replaced.

#3 for me. Keeps my handwriting just a little bit more legible.
#4 doesn't work for my writing style it seems. I end up wearing large flats on the lead anyways.

#1 got me through college
(ingoring the diameter)
Apparently!
You can pry my Twist-Erase from my cold dead arthritic hands.
Am I the only one who’se only ever used wooden pencils in my life? In my part of the word basically no one used those plastic ones.

No Pentel P209? WTF?

Also, some of these options are not pencils. For a pen I'd go for 5/6.

I spent way too much time hunting down a Pilot Automac and finally got it. being stuck with anything here would be such a stark downgrade
- it rotates the graphite as you write so your lines are always sharp. it's an absolute game changer and now i can never go back to a standard mechanical pencil
#3 for the always-sharp tip, but #4 is a close contender for the protection against snapping lead. (I own both of these pencils.)

I've also used 4 and 8 which are both decent.
Pentel Twist-erase 0.7 is the proper answer.
I'll take the good ole #2 pencil. Just enough tech and no more.
I really like 4.
Mainly for the reason that it auto rotates the pencil lead every time you lift it off the page; thus preventing flat spotting your handwriting
