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 use different picks for different guitars, but they're all Dunlop. The Tortex standard .88-1.14 are my general purpose gotos. I've dabbled a bit recently with the TIII picks in the same thickness, usually go back to standard though. For my more shreddy guitars and tunes a nylon Jazz III. I've tried the Stubby Jazz a few times, but inevitably back to the nylon III. For acoustic I'll often do either celluloid for chords or finger picking.
