We used to use them but it requires a wet sponge or towel to erase. This isn't
a problem at the end of the game but during the game, erasing a marked off
damage system when damage control does it's job can be a little tricky. What
most people end up doing is wetting their finger and erasing it that way. Come
the end of the game you've got a colored finger.
Grease pencils rub off easily without wetting that's why we use them instead.
I suppose it's just a matter of preference though. There's
no reason why you couldn't use the water-based marker pens as well.

You might also look into Dry Erase Markers. You'll just have to be careful not
to accidentally rub anything off.

The only dry erase markers I've ever found are VERY WIDE for classroom use
and so on. But even if you can't find fine-point dry erase markers, you
can
use the dry erase markers to erase alcohol (permanent) pens -- just mark
over
what you want to erase, then wipe the dry-erase off with a paper towel
and the permanent mark goes with it.
Just another idea -- worth what you paid for it. :-)

Fine-point dry erase markers are usually found in art supply, serious
office supply, and college stores. The ones I found were fine-tipped
enough to use to fill out energy allocation forms for SFB (since 1979).
They're worth looking for IMO.

I still prefer OHP pens myself.
Most people seem to use covers, such as the A4 holders you can get at
stationary stores. I much prefer to face my sheets with 'Sticky Backed
Plastic'. This can be found at most stationary stores such as Staples or
Partners for covering books. This gives your sheets that 'professional' look
and makes them waterproof and durable (I also back my sheets with card).
