Check out different materials as well (e.g tortex, nylon) and different gripping surfaces. Some picks, like the Dunlop nylon FLOW picks have a textured grip that makes it much easier to hand on to.

No, that's related to my beginner level, incomplete technique :) as I need to compensate it by playing more softly.

Strum all 6 strings at the same time with equal force. If you can make out all 6 strings ringing then you have a balance guitar. If certain of the strings drown out other strings... that's the guitar, not you.
