I have tried all types and sizes of picks over the years but I prefer the smaller Dunlop translucent picks. I get the sound I like and I find also that my right hand is less encumbered with the smaller pick as opposed to the larger bluegrass type of pick.

I used a bluechip which was indestructible, CT55.
Now Dunlop primetones which I prefer because I think the wear of the pick adapts to the style of play and even if it is necessary to change it more often.
