If you are looking for a decent fountain pen, consider the Lamy Al-Star, Lamy Safari, or Pilot Metropolitan (series). Now I do not know how big or small your hands are, the Lamy is a relatively light, long pen, and the Metropolitan series is a shorter pen. Both are good writers, but it is also dependent upon the type of ink.
Bleed through on paper is determined by several factors: one is the paper itself, another is the type of ink. Different brands of ink are wetter or drier. I generally use Lamy Blue ink, or Diamine Onyx Black. Both work well in my Lamy pen.
I use the spiral notebooks from Hamelin brands, branded Black and Red, they have good paper, but tend to be a little pricey.
Most fountain pens can be fitted with a converter so that you can fill from an ink bottle (which is far more economical than cartridges)
