I think if you're just bashing out rhtyhm, thick picks (3mm and up) are fine, but for more intricate playing, chord melody, single note lines, I find the perfect thickness to be in the 1.5 to 2mm range.
Have you tried D'Andrea Pro-Plecs? They're my favorite, and not clicky like those primetones (which I know people like, but I think are awful!)
I also really like the black, 2mm Dunlops with the alligator on them for acoustic archtop. They make a purple in 1.5mm that I think folks really like too.
