Usually my won fingermails, but when I use a flatfick, I prefer the buffalo horn.
It is a thick pick, but once you get use to it, it plays like buter!

As a melodic guitarist, thins and mediums are largely a no-no.

Fender Heavy, traditional shape, for just jiving around and practice.

and for varied tone variations (yes, they make a difference)

Coconut (soft)
Pecan (round sound)
Cattle horn (great for country ballads, no harshness)
Turtle shell (about 35 years old, the best for melodic soft, precise jazz)
Ebony (good for cisp but woody)
Rosewood (much the same as ebony, but les harsh)
Camel bone (very clean, precise)

And for bass...fingers

I use the same (Fender tortoise-shell 351s) but in medium or heavy (no extra heavy)...been using them for around 40 years now.

Dunlop thumb picks forever. I had my doubts, but now I can't come to grips with using any other kind.

For general: Dunlop Tortex Reds
Rock: Tortex Oranges
Improv: Jazz III Black Tortex

herco 75 flex and dunlop jazz III picks are currently my most used pick.

Fender 351 Medium tortoise shell.
I have some of those buffalo horn picks,they're smooth but a little too thick for me.

Almost anything that isn't too slippery and too heavy. I go from extra light to medium.

I like the yellow Dunlop 73mm also, but my very favorite is one of the V-Picks that I heard about on the TrueFire.com guitar instruction forum. The V-Pick is super thick and made of a substance that sort of sticks to your fingers. Here is a link to their web page. I have never seen them in stores.
My favorite is the screamer. They are a little expensive, but I think they are worth the money.
