Pencil can smear, and all plastic will degrade with UV exposure over time, so even engraving them is a relatively short-term fix.
I use two methods: One is to laser-print on sheet label stock. In ~5 years of doing that, I see no fading. The other is the use of P-Touch labels.
There is no question in my mind that a Brother P-touch label (black text on white) is THE most permanent solution, other than embossing metal tags. I have a P-touch label on the cap of my truck as a test. It has been there for 7 years, been exposed to all sorts of weather and car-washing, and has even been kept outside of the garage since I got a new car in April 2008. A couple of the corners are peeled back very slightly, but the text looks good as new.
