I prefer pretty thick picks, about a 1.2 mm or so. I do a lot of flatpicking. Lately I have been using Taylor 1.21 mm, which are 25 cents each at my local shop.

I like .73mm Dunlop Primetones.

I really like Dunlop gel in both medium and heavy so probably about .75-1.2 I’d guess.

I've used picks up to 3.0 mm thick but now find 1.5 mm to 2.0 mm is best for me.

I use the Dunlop .73. This has been a recent thing....
I used to use a thinner pick - but moved to thicker so I could articulate a bit more when flat picking etc.

It's a Charmed Life for me, 1.4 ish. I'm amused I have at least two BC picks in my pick jar along with the Wegens and the Primetones. Casein for now is the bomb.

1.0 or 1.1. Not sure which to choose from your poll because of the way you have a broken down.

Depends on the guitar and depends on the pick material.
I'm a strummer - I like the Jim Dunlop Nylon .60mm for a warm tone and these black 'Strings & Beyond' T thins .50mm for a slightly louder, brighter tone.

My current go to ones are Taylor Thermex 1.25 mm and Taylex at 1.5 mm. 651 shape. The Darktone was meh. Also Dunlop Jazztone 204 when I’m feeling fiesty.

Been playing with 0.88 nylons for a while but I've been switching to ultex .73 lately and really enjoying it for both strumming and lead.
