Default What is the best pick for strumming?

I've been experimenting with different kinds of picks to see what I like the most. So far what I've found is that your can get a decent sound out of many picks for flatpicking. My preference is for a bigger pick (IE not a jazz pick).

However I am very particular about the pick that I use for strumming. Many do not have a great clear tone and make the strings kind of bleed into each other when you strum, which I don't like. They can also sound muted or not sustain very long.

So far the pick that I like the most is the Dava pick with the yellow or white tip. I believe that is is the one in the far right in the below picture. Great string seperation, works very well for both strumming and flatpicking, and makes your guitar extremely loud. Ergonomically it is very easy to use on my dreads



What I'm wondering is that if there are better picks out there for strumming? I'm curious about the higher end picks as as Wegen, Blue Chip, Red Bear etc... Or anything that works well
