Pencil, with a good eraser. When I was a youngster, I HATED mechanical pencils, because it seemed that they never worked, they always had something wrong with them.
Quite by accident, I discovered the new generation of mechanical pencils, and I think they are great, especially the clear, transparent barrells, which let you see a little bit about the way they work. Lately, I've found in the marketplace something called mini-pencils, which are at least an inch shorter than usual, makes it very easy to tuck one into a pocket. I'm embarrassed to admit how many I have lying around on my desk, table, and several other places.
It depends on what I am doing. Letters and writing in a private journal, I like to use pen, but I like using pencils for math, taking quick notes, or notes that I want to redo later. Sometimes if I am marking in a book I use pencil, but only if the pencil is dark enough to be seen. I don't think one is better than the other

Depends on what I'm using it for - for writing, I would prefer a pen, but for drawing/sketching, I like pencils much better.
Pen, the damn lead always breaks on the pencils.
