I use mostly .88mm cat tongue picks. I sweat a lot and these are the only picks I don't lose grip on.
I use them on everything.
Except when I feel frisky, I'll use a .44mm Dunlop pick for barre chords on my Jaguar. It kills the the twang.

Just ordered some tri stubbys to try out
bone toanz are, to me, more full sounding and warmer. there is a scooch of string noise though.
if you want a fuller sound without the noise, horn picks work as well.
imo pick material is a somewhat underrated means of changing your tone a bit

idk about any makers. i got mine from a local guitar shop, not a chain. idk if GC or Sam Ash sell them
its also worth noting that if you're prone to losing picks, they're not for you since they cost like 5-8 bucks. but i like it. they're super chunky and basically can't break

Black nylon Dunlop 1mm for Guitar, Purple Dunlop tortex 1.14mm for Baritone and fingers on Bass...
One thing I learned from that douche who slept with Rebecca Dirks is to sharpen my guitar ones slightly by rubbing them on the carpet...
TWSS anyway...

Now I roll my own out of .80 polycarbonate.

The lady uses these, 1.38mm
I use these when I play her guitar, which is every time I switch her effects board around, which is often.
1.0mm, 1.14mm, and 1.40mm, depending on my mood or what effects are engaged.

Sounds real nice and scratchy. Sometimes I'll go with a 2005, but the 2007's seem to grip a bit better.

Switched to these a few yrs ago:
Took me a while to get used to them, but no way I'd go back to ordinary picks now.

I went from using Planet Waves delflex .76mm for years to using nothing but Gravity Picks 1.1 or 1.5mm big mini Razer. They just sound and feel perfect for me.
