ahahah oh dear. Price range?
decent workhorses <50 euro:
- Lamy safari/AL-star: ABS/Aluminum bodies, easily swappable nibs, available in a zillion colours. Proprietary cartridges/ converters
- Kaweco sport: available in plastic or a wide array of metals, uses mini converters or short cartridges
- Pilot Kakuno: Extremely well loved by everyone. the nibs have faces
- and if you like extra skinny nibs, a lot of the chinese brands like Majohn, Asvine, and Jinhao are actually a really good bang for your buck. they can range from a couple bucks to 75.
Slightly more pricy <100 euro: TWSBI eco seem to be loved for the 9023 different colours, but some people experience breakages

The fountain pen subreddit would probably answer your question much better than I can.
