I pretty much use whatever size of Max Grip, T3, or regular Tortex I fancy. Varies according to what I'm playing, generally .60 - .88, though sometimes heavier.
I wish all picks had grippy surfaces
I used the red Jazz iii picks for years but since then I change about all the time.
Now I switch between the Tortex TIII 1.0mm and 1.4mm, Ultex sharps, Jazz III, Java ultra grip and others.
Those Dunlop nylons 0.88mm @richardhomer mentioned? Always hated them cos they are thin and squashy and you don't get any attack with them. It's like playing with a grey blancmange, albeit a blancmange with a fairly nice grip to be fair. And grey isn't even a proper colour.
Anyway, picked one up a couple of months ago. Turns out they're suddenly pretty good. Go figure.
I hold the pic wrong (I use three fingers) so don't need grippy pics

I used to use the normal Tortex in .88/1.0/1.14 depending on what I wanted to use at the time. I tried the 1.0mm sharps, and found them leaving the strings much quicker than the standards, making quicker runs easier, and I'm finding the 1.0 thickness just spot on for me.
Since switching I've found my picking is much more precise, and gentler.

I don't like the way the nylons sound, dulls the tone.
