I use ultra-thin nylons, thick nylons, every variety of "normal" picks, and medium-thickness pick cards because of the convenience. Seriously, having picks just slide into your wallet is hella convient.

I use all different kinds of picks, but I prefer medium-gauge Fender or Dunlop picks. I only use thin picks when playing stumming songs on an acoustic, and heavy picks when playing arpeggio songs like Good Riddance.
Sorry I'm a bit of newbie in guitar playing, but what is arpeggio? :P

Playing the notes of a chord one at a time.
Kind of like sweep picking... ever heard of that?
Sweep picking and arpeggios are completely different.
Sweep picking is strumming but playing the notes one at a time
Arpeggios are playing the notes in a chord one at a time
Most of the time sweeping licks use arpeggios but they're not the same thing

What I meant to say before was if you play really hard with thick picks alot then it could break your strings faster. I recommend them though. :P

Ever tried Ernie Ball strings? They take a damn good effort to bust. And they sound great too. XD

Guitar picks....I still haven't found the right pick, but I found a really good one called DAVA control. Basically it's a lot easier to control, it's flexible but it's not the type of pick that breaks, but they wear down and become very blunt after a few months, well depending on how long you play per week (I cannot see how some people can solo with blunt picks). I use them the most, but of course for strumming on the acoustic I definitely use the thin-gauge picks.

Other than that my other favourite is Dunlops "big stubby", some people complain that they're too thick but I think anyone could manage the 1.0mm ones. Rarely do I use the 3.0mm pick, besides shredding and doing sweeps I cannot say they're that much good for anything else, unless you like that sharp sound while picking, the 2.0mm isn't much different but it's my 2nd favourite. My strings break, but I only need to replace my guitar strings about once every 2-5 months, I'm guessing the strings have just simply been worn out.
