Cross pens are nice but just high priced bic pens. Used to be much better. Have a few black and gold sets around here somewhere.
I have some antique fountain pens my favorite is a Porsche Design pen:
Got mine in 2006. Made by Faber-Castell. Really heavy. You compress the top and bottom to click the ink cartridge.
I always wanted a Mont Blanc Meisterstück but never ended up getting one and really have no use for another fountain pen.
