I use the same pick for everything. Dunlop nylon .88 mm (the gray ones)
Wear like iron, sound good. I had a more rounded-profile old Fender plastic pick lying around (I was going to punch circles out of it to make fret markers) and I picked it up last night and played a bit... Dreadful.
That being said, I know many who prefer a lighter pick for strumming. We had a friend who played for many years using nothing but light-gauge nylon material that he cut out of a sheet of the stuff with scissors.
Almost as floppy as paper. Never played a single note in his career, but he could do a rapid "folk" strumming style with considerable gusto.
