Lastly is the question of "longer lasting" There is no answer to this question. Ballpoints have been around since the late 1940's. Sharpie's came out in 1964. I think are sigs of both types that are probably around a long time. We certainly know fountain pen can last 100 yrs, when well take care of. I think the above factors probably impact the answers to your question more so than the intrinsic nature of the technology.

I think best option is to collect what you like, not what will last longest.

Best,

As usual, Mark is spot-on...
