I'd rather have a not-so nice pen than a nice one. I use pens all the time and would rather leave a ballpoint pen at the bank than anything else.
The boy belongs to a professional union, and for every event, they pass out these really handy notepads with small pens. He has a zillion of them and they fit in pockets, glove compartments, kitchen drawers, etc. Something like that would be ideal, I would think.
