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.

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

The Dixon Ticonderoga is the only pencil I've used that doesn't have an absolute shit eraser, so I pick that.
I never use integrated erasers apart from emergency like my standalome eraser got launched out of the test room and the staff won't get it for me. Or for wood pencils when they are unusable for writing I'll save them as erasers. I just hate having partial erasers or stuck half erasers in mechanical pencils.

No Rotring 600? For shame!
Hope I don't have much left to write if choosing #2(pun is a package deal). But it would be my pick.
I really think I like GraphGear 500 more than 1000. I do not like Kuru Toga. Right now I am all in on Ohto.
6, which I guess is pretty similar to my pick for number 5 on the pen post. Looks like the weight and style would feel best in my hand. Sadly none of them have my favorite feature of having fairly long and good quality erasers on it like my current favorite (non imported) mechanical pencil. Can't remember the name off the top of my head
I pick number 5 because I feel like there is a balance between the expected lifetime of the pencil and the expected lifetime of the eraser. These fancy metal ones with the little sliver of shitty eraser that ends up getting lost and the supposed 3 pack replacement ones that you have to special order somewhere. Ugh no thanks.
Alvin DM07. No other, maybe #3 because I liked that the lead automatically rotated on each press. But Alvin all the way.
Pentel Twist-erase 0.7 is the proper answer.
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
