Right now... I use whatever picks i can find laying round. ATM i have a 1.5MM pick, not sure what the make is but it says DAVA on it... That one has been used so much that isn't that nice to use anymore since the sides are sort of.. shaved off if that makes sense?

I have a Jum Dunlop 3.0MM Stubby, i hate using it because of how small it is. The one i prefer to use atm is Jim Dunlop 1MM.

Then again, these are all old picks that i have left lying about for ages and just recently found again :D

Usually when getting new picks (My sister usually gets em for me since she lives near the guitar store) I just ask her to get the thickest ones they have.

I usually prefer thicker ones because they seem to last longest with me and don't end up having the sides shaved off (Hope that makes sense :P ) as quick as other picks.

D'Andrea Jazz Pro 1.14's.

The problem I had with the Jazz III's was that the surface on the picks was horrible and they wouldn't stay put in my fingers. Jazz Pros are just the match for me.

Dunlop stubby (the smal ones) 1mm. Can't play with any other <_<
Wow u guys use really thick picks!

Somwhere I read that small picks give better precision so I forced myself to use them. It took me actually few time to notice improvement but maybe its not for the dimension of that picks but for the slippery the feel with the strings because that plastic they are made of (dunno if that made some sense :P )

I remember ages ago i was bought some picks by my auntie because i needed some new picks, and she came home with some VERY thin picks... I ended up snapping them accidentally while i was playing, i picked too hard for those picks to handle and snapped them :D
