I have the neatest handwriting known to man. I get comments from others on my printing being almost printer-like. For me, I have about 50 of these pens and carry them on my person constantly:

Best you can get. Doesn't smear and smooth writing. You get the occasional bad pen, but for the most part, they are top of the line.
As far as journals, I found that Moleskine smears too much. I get regular Mead notebooks, usually the graph paper notebooks.
