#3 for me. Keeps my handwriting just a little bit more legible.
#4 doesn't work for my writing style it seems. I end up wearing large flats on the lead anyways.

#1 got me through college
(ingoring the diameter)
Apparently!
You can pry my Twist-Erase from my cold dead arthritic hands.
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.

No Pentel P209? WTF?
5
Also, some of these options are not pencils. For a pen I'd go for 5/6.

Pentel Twist-erase 0.7 is the proper answer.
1, I have one of them branded from my prior work, it's an excellent pencil.
Oh no... I'm that weirdo that likes the Papermate mechanicals.
They are just so simple and reliable. You could crush one and still get it to write again if you needed too and it had the eraser (that sucked) built right in that you never used but felt good looking at it and squeezing against your thumbnail when you were bored. Just had to put better quality lead in it.
But man Zebra makes the pens and pencil I would actually intend to use if I was planning it.
I'll take the good ole #2 pencil. Just enough tech and no more.
No Rotring 600? For shame!
The Dixon Ticonderoga is the only pencil I've used that doesn't have an absolute shit eraser, so I pick that.

I really like 4.
Mainly for the reason that it auto rotates the pencil lead every time you lift it off the page; thus preventing flat spotting your handwriting
#6 because I need all that extra eraser
#6 is the closest to what got me through dozens of blue books.
Mine isn’t here, but 8 if I have to choose.
