Always keep your pen tip at the same angle throughout a piece of work. That's what gives you the thick & thin strokes in the right places. Your nib should be slanted at approx. 45 degrees from the edge of the paper.
Markers tend to lose their point after a while but are good for quick jobs. I find the marker's thin stroke is not thin enough.
Fountain-type pens are great as they are consistent though your ink colours are limited.
Dip pens such as Speedball are the best as you can use any colour ink or even watercolour. It sounds gross, but dip nibs work best if you lick them before using - the ink flows off them better.
Practice your strokes on lined paper as much as possible. Always do a mock-up before your final project - that way you can measure your line length and adjust the final so it's even.
Check out some calligrapher's sites for great ideas on fonts.
