My main guitar pick is the Dunlop Ultex in 1.14 thickness. I have yet to really wear one out and they do seem to last a long, long time. The slightly bevelled point seems to keep it's shape I have not noticed any fall off in tone or playing with them. I usually end up grabbing a new one when they get so old and worn on the gripping surface that I start to lose my "grip". When the Rhino is worn off they get replaced. But usually not tossed as they still work just fine.
I can't use a thin pick at all and tried with no luck. They wear out or break way too easily for me.
I also use both Red Bear and Blue Chip picks, but mainly on the Mando. The Red Bear's will wear out or break after extended use. I have gone through a couple of them now. The Blue Chip seems to keep going and nothing seems to faze it. Pretty much all I use on the Mando now.
