.73 gauge dunlop picks! ... be it Tortex or Ultex, as long as they are the same size/shape. i can't seem to use anything else. i can slightly go with a 1.0, but .73 is where its at.
i like the attack of the tortex ... a big part of my playing is hitting the strings so hard, the pick slightly bends against the strings. i like the overtones i can get out with that especially with 16 notes
