I remember Dean Markleys, good texture and feel, used them quite a bit when I was learning

I've got some red, black, and Ultex Jazz IIIs.  Tend to favour the Ultex ones.  Bloody things keep going missing though

Wait a minute ... actually right now I'm using these:


Very similar to the Dean Markleys - and even more "grippy".

It generally depends on what guitar I'm using and what song I'm playing


I'll use a .5 for strumming acoustic songs, then go for a heavier pick when I'm picking or playing my Strat.

I love the sound of thins to strum acoustic but I tear them up too quickly. 
 
My dad turned me on to the idea of a three headed pick, if something slips in your hand you're good and if you chip one tip you're still good. 
 
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

typically 1mm or less, but occasionally also heavier picks. The reason I've preferred Dean Markley picks over all the others over the years is because their surface is far less slippery than that of the typical pick.

I'm not really picky about my picks.  My current batch are blue. LOL

Eric Johnson's CD Bloom comes with one he likes to use.  It's small thin and red.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
