Although I have yet to spring for the 75$ 80 thickness.

I don't use them all the time.

For strumming I like a medium pick with the flex that gets the best flow for BPM. Anywhere from .060 (faster songs) to .088" (slower). The Charmed life vesperal picks are very nice for precise, solid rhythm.

For electrics I like the cheap green star cutout picks. On a slight angle they can play lead. And straight across the strings still get that flex needed for sweet rhythm.
I want to try the TD 60 next. I myself am used to strumming rhythm with a heavy pick. I use up to 3mm Gravity picks on electric, though it's usually 2mm. No problems strumming so far with the TD 50.

I like the Prime Tone picks (this week, anyway lol) and will probably use them when I go out to jam - but the BC is a better sounding pick to my ears for sure!
