Inks, I tend to use Quink. Blue/Black. I also have some Herbin which I like in the two coloured 15s - Rouge Caroubier in the red and Éclat de Saphir in the blue.

I've got Parker 0.7 in the rollerballs (generally blue in the Flighter and black in the Black) and UF in the Frontiers which seem to suit a really thin nib. In the ballpoints, it's again, Parker (again, generally blue in the Flighter and black in the Black) and generally medium as I find the fine a bit scratchy in this format.
Are the Jintao pens not Lamy safari, I have a black one that looks just like them
 
PDAs that take me back ... I remember the quip Steve Jobs used to sneer at the Newton about. Stylus? You've got five of them attached to each hand; and steadfastly refused to back the technology until that became how it worked. Here we are today, the world over, prodding our phones and tablets with the styluses we already had.
He bull headedly refused to entertain the idea of a stylus on an Apple product and famously stated there would never, ever be an Apple stylus product - so once he had died, Apple bought out stylus for mac's, but called them "Pencils"

My Lamy 4 way was fantatic with the stylus taking one of the slots - it worked really, really well. If i could find the box (its here somewhere) i could probably find the stylus
