Okay, this is a little trite, but I'm very curious to know what picks people are using. I cannot seem to settle on one whose tone I like.

Dugain : very good tone, excellent ergonomy.

I have some buffalo horn picks that are shallower than Dugains that I cherish!
Other than that, I use a Wegen or Dunlop Stubbies.

Another vote for the Wegen 3.5, followed by the Moustache 4.0!

I use the Dunlop Big Stubby 3.0mm : it is sufficient, but with use tends to become thin on the edges. I'm going to try something else, maybe a 4.0mm.
Grazie Django!

Wegen twin mostly. When I need a change I rotate through the Wegen GJ and the Pearse Ebody Sarod pick, which has a nice loud woody sound but doesn't slide through the strings as easily as the Wegens.
