What types of guitar picks do you use? (lemm.ee)

I have been playing (just for fun) for about 15 years. During which I have tried countless different types of guitar picks.

Recently I’m gravitating towards really thick picks, like the well-known Jazz III or Big Stubby 3.0mm. I’ve noticed I can play fast alternate picking and triplets much easier with these.

What types of picks do you use, and why?

I like the Flow picks which for me has a tip somewhere between Jazz and triangular but the size of traditional. I ostne use thinner or medium picks even on bass because it can act like a natural compressor which I can "switch off" by simply holding closer to the tip (hence why I want a traditional sized instead of the small Jazz size)
