FWIW, here's my thoughts on picks, coming from a fairly new player (6+ yrs).
I started with primarily Fender mediums and heavies. I learned that they gave good tone and it was up to me to adjust my grip and angle. I also found that I like to drill 2-3 holes to help keep them from rotating in my fingers.
Started using some of the higher price picks and the only ones I really liked were the Primetones that look like Blue Chips (not the translucent PT's).
I also like gold color nylon picks that have a 50 on them and some grippy surface. I think they're .88 thick, not sure who makes them - maybe Dunlop?
I have 2 BC's that I like - a TD35 and a TD50.
Just last night I received a TAD50 that I bought from someone on another forum. Spent a little time last night and this morning with it and it may be a game changer for me. The more pronounced bevel and tri shape give it more versatility. Haven't tried it yet on mando but should be great there too.
