Non-expert pen nerd here. BIFL would be fountain pen, I love my Sailor with fine nib, I guess you can get ink for left-handed writers. But probably not a good choice for EDC pen that you just throw in a bag. Of course it has refillable ink cartridge, but the prefilled cartridges of Sailor are proprietary, so more future-proof may be another brand that uses standard ones. I also like MUJIs, I have a large collection of them including refills from many years ago. The red ones seem to dry out quicker than other colors though and I'm wondering how many years will the refills remain usable. They seem to stick to the design for a long time, so that's good. But to be honest, there are more ergonomic alternatives that don't necessarily follow the minimalist style and unsure about how available the refills will be: I'm currently using uni-ball Signo DX 0.38 (says "ultrafine waterproof" on it), for a long time my favorite pen was Pilot Synergy Point. Of course I used G1, G2, Sharpie S-Gel, PaperMate InkJoy and many others - all fine and more-less the same, the only issue I have with those is that click pens with rubberized grip don't go well with notebook pen loop. I thought the Fisher Space Pen would be my EDC one, but it sits on a shelf as a curiosity. If I want to be sure a "tactically placed" writing instrument will work in possibly more distant future when needed, I choose \[mechanical\] pencil. If the question is availability of refills in future, just intuitively I'd choose something like G-2.

This 1980's marker, still better than any modern equivalent
Why does the toxic stuff have to work the best? It's not fair! My Sharpies today I only get a few uses out of. I'm sure all that extra plastic in the environment isn't very good either.
