Kobo stylus 2 better alternatives

Hi everyeone. I am going to buy Kobo Libra Colour soon. However, I am reconsidering whether I want to get Kobo Stylus 2 along with it. I have read from a few people that its nibs need to get replaced every few weeks or so, which is not so ideal for me and their nibs are quite expensive, especially for people who write a lot. Searching the internet, I have found that certain Renaisser models, Microsoft Surface pen and Wacom Bamboo pen (not sure about this one) are supposed to work with Kobo Libra Colour.

I need a few clarifications before I proceed to choose the appropriate pen:
1) Am I right in assuming that they all have comparable writing quality and they all have an "erasing" option?
2) I will have a glass screen protector over Kobo Libra Colour's screen, should the pens still write in this case?
3) I would prefer replaceable batteries, but if it is built-in batteries, how long would they hold a charge and how many cycles (I am guessing around a 1000?)
4) I would also prefer pens with nibs that are designed to last, or wear out over a long period of time. I had an HP active pen which had a nib that wouldn't really wear out even after years of writing.

Please also add other alternatives as I am sure there should be a few more.
Thanks in advance
