Well, im just spending my sime on skipclass, but I would be intrested to read what kind of pick do you guys like.
I'm currently using Gibson's medium "triangle-shaped" picks, and they are fitting to my fingers very good. I can play fast with those pics, maybe because they are enough big.

What do you think?

I use (and most rock players do) the Dunlop Tortex. They have a kind of weird but good feeling. They feel kind of powdery.
Sounding better is in your head ,not your amp.

Geoge Dennis, extremely thick, extremely sharp. You could bring down an elephant with one these puppies.

I use Fender California Clears, Heavy. Either that or Dunlop Tortex Heavies, or Dunlop JazzII's when i can find them. The tone of your pick affects the tone of your guitar so much it's unreal. When i play blues, jazz, country, or soft stuff i use fingers, picks are much less subtle and dynamic. But for rock and metal and punk picks are definitely better. I never did like those really large picks, or soft ones, no control.

I go with Dunlop mediums. I don't like to use the heavy picks because it's a lot harder for me to get the pick harmonics out of the higher strings. Medium seems to suit me just fine.

I use Dunlop Gator Grip 2mm picks. Being the shredder wanna be that I am these picks enable me to play a little faster. For acoustic though, I use .96mm Dunlop Gator Grips.

P.S. Rammstein Sucks.
