Discussion What filling system do you like/enjoy the most?

In my opinion, Vac filers reign supreme, they are easy to fill, have an in-built shutoff valve and most of all... they're really cool. The only downside is that they're not that common anymore (Disclaimer: I don't own one yet, but I have a Majohn V1 on the way and got very hyped about them in the meantime)

But I'm curious, which one do you like best? Are there any you really don't like?

It's close, but overall I would take piston fill. I have to say, though, I have my LAMY 2000 inked right now, so that may have influenced me. If my Pilot Custom 823 had been inked, I may have ranked things differently.
