In the end, it doesn't matter which you choose as you will definitely be looking for an additional FP shortly thereafter. Enjoy the journey and the obsession. You are already assimilated, and resistance futile.
The Pelikan M800 or M1000 would be the safe and sure bets of all those mentioned IMHO. OMAS strikes a nice balance between look and feel, nib experience, nuance, exotica, etc, etc. The celluloids are cool, multi-faceted sides comfortable in the hand, the big black resins will scratch (lots of plain surface), the 360 is interesting, the Emotica is intriguing, etc. OMAS is Italian, so they can be finicky, but then what's a couple of stained fingers from time to time.
