I'm not a big fan of mechanical pencils myself, but i've found drafting pencils, similar to these to be nice.

They've got the pros of both mechanical and standard pencils without the flaws of both. I use one for writing and sketching and i've had the same pencil for 12 years now and still use it to this day. The refills can be a bit tricky to find though in stores. Art supply stores sometimes have them and i've seen them at places like staples.
