Hobonichi Techo, and yes it's pricier, but "durable enough for daily use" is basically the entire selling point of Tomoe River paper — thin, doesn't feather with a fountain pen, and the cover's held up to a full year of daily bag-tossing without looking destroyed.
What actually made it stick for me wasn't the planner layout, it was the daily quote printed at the top of each page — sounds like a gimmick, ended up being the thing that made me actually open it every morning instead of "someday." The dot-grid daily pages are flexible enough that you're not locked into a rigid study-block format if that's not how your brain works.
Runs close to the $40 ceiling depending on the cover you pick, so budget accordingly, but it's the first planner where the "pretty" part and the "actually functional daily" part weren't in conflict with each other.
