Wow, I'm a heavy weight I guess. I'm using a Blue Chip CT-55 (which is also my mandolin pick) for Bluegrass/Americana on an adi topped dread. I prefer a heavier pick with a lighter attack. It's a LOT less effort to get the sound out. Most bluegrassers I know use even heavier picks. BTW, I've been using the same BC pick for 8 years now with no wear.
When I played rhythm in a contradance band (jigs and reels at 100+ BPM) and wanted more pick noise to articulate the rhythm, I went down to a TAD 40
