The two I really like are quite different from each other, one from purpleheart wood, the other from Bolivian rosewood. They have a very pure tone, no "slappy" noise, and last until ya lose 'em. Otherwise, Fender heavy or mediums work well for me. Dunlop has some nice white pearloid picks that I like as well. Half the time I don't even use picks, though. Lots of fingerstyle in my playing.
