I used to use Pilot V5 and V7 pens in the 80s, but these days there are better options. The Signo 207 isn’t bad, but I find it a bit scratchy.
Personally I rate the Sanford uni-ball Gel RT as a bit better than the Pilot G2, but it’s largely a matter of what feel you prefer. Both are available as 0.7mm gel pens, and I use both, but the Gel RT is a bit smoother. They also sell the Gel RT in 1mm and 0.38mm widths.
The biggest disappointment in pens and pencils recently was the Sharpie liquid graphite pencil. Really horrible uneven lines.
When I was writing by hand every day, I used Rotring Rapidograph pens. Unfortunately they dry up and fail if not used often enough. Wir schreiben nicht auf papier oder so, as Holger Hiller put it in 1986.
