This one.

I would use mechanical pencils, but I'm notoriously known for losing them.

I would use wooden pencils, but they make my fingertips swell up and get all nasty.

and those erasers they put on them are almost always useless :'(

Wooden pencils that instead of being shaped like a hexagon, are shaped like a triangle, for maximum comfort.

#2 is #1.

The Ticonderoga erasers were made by the gods. 

But you're right; all other standard pencil erasers are crap.

I got used to Staedtlers.

That's what I use. I just couldn't remember how to spell the name.

If I really have to use a pencil, it'd be a 0.5mm mechanical. I hate wood pencils because of usually being dull, because of the way the pencil tip rubs against my hand when I write, because of the loose wooden shavings that tend to wind up everywhere, because of their almost-always horrible erasers, and the fact that they have to be sharpened with a sharpener which is actually decent.
Regardless of pencil type, the side of my left hand ends up covered in graphite after writing with them for some time. Pen ink doesn't stick to my skin nearly as easily.

hate them all, my scrawl is accustomed to the scratch of either a fine-point ballpoint or a fine fountain nib

I have those too

.5mm for sure.  God damn I can't describe how much I hate the wooden pencils they give you when you do retarded tests.  If you make one mistake and erase the bubble, you can't tell which answer you filled in or erased. Q('_' Q)

[:atomsk:]

I write really hard and always break the lead with mechanical pencils.
I carve my wooden pencils myself.
