Strathmore 400 Series does quite well with most inks, is decently priced, and is also a pretty good watercolor paper in general.
It has a bit of texture to it so it's not dead smooth but it's not rough either... it's like small shallow smooth dimples.
Edit: for a better look this guy does a great video review of this particular paper that he has used with both watercolor and fountain pens. He also has lots of other videos reviewing different papers and typically uses a fountain pen.
There are these really cool pencils called watercolor pencils. You can sketch with them dry and then add water with a brush later to blend or you can dip the pencil itself in water at it draws really smooth. They're super fun and easier to use than just plain watercolors. That's always been something I give to dabblers, that a watercolor sketch book.
