Check out Sakura markers... they can be a bit hard to find, but they are really nice.

I'm a minimalist, so I just use pilot v5 pens in the assortment of colors (not many) that they offer. Its cool to experiment with different crosshatching techniques to where different colors seem to blur from a distance and make new colors that way. Something cool you could try out if you're into art. But other than that, I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to stuff besides pens.

I used Letraset Promarkers. However they are a british brand.
Copic's are very good, though

Crayola!

Crayola is actually pretty horrible.

I draw all my sketches on A4 paper, ink them using a fine 0.3mm black pen and then scan them in and colour them in digitally using GIMP. (To worried about making mistakes with colour pens, also easier to change colours).
Here is a random link to colouring in sketches digitally;
