I think people like the Nikko ones most, not sure how much of a difference the brand makes. I got a cheap speedball set recently (didn't come with a g-pen nib sadly) and it's been satisfactory for my skill level.
It's surprisingly easy to not make a huge mess, I read some calligraphy guides I found off a web search and follow common sense, don't overfill the pen, don't push into the page, don't gesticulate with the pen when it's full.
