I don't do traditional as much anymore. But I hope I can share a little bit.
Pentel Pocket Brush is awesome. You never have to dip your pen in ink ever again! But, the cartridges are expensive (where I'm from, it is). The only thing I miss with traditional brush while using the Brush pen, it's hard to do a dry textured stroke, since your pen is always loaded with ink. You have to run the brush pen fast across the paper to achieve that look.
Beware of buying the cheaper Sakura Pigma Brush pen. The point tends to split. I haven't had Microns. I always use Uni pins.
And I love cheap ball point pens, as long as they don't blot on the initial contact and could run the ink as long as it's touching paper. I'm not sure if you have a Muji store over there, but their gel pens are one of the slickest pens I handled.

If you are reading this, I most likely just gave you a crappy crit! What I'm basically trying to say is, don't give up!
