I'm partial to Rhodia No 16 dotPad. It takes ink well, without much bleed through the page or spread across the page. For reference, I use a variety of inks and fountain pens, with Pelikan-4001 and Waterman-graduate-allure being my go-to combination. I prefer the dots to either grids or lines, because they provide enough guidance without getting in the way. The spiral binding is convenient, and the back cover is stiff enough to use on a lap. The pages are not numbered, but I do that myself, with yyyy-mm-dd and a title at the top-right of any new set of notes, and circled numbers 1, 2, ..., on successive pages of that topic. Not that anybody asked... what is it about note-taking that makes people yammer so?
