.88 seems to strike a compromise between too rigid and too flexible...suits me fine!

+1 or 3 on the .73's.

I always used heavier picks until I discovered the mediumish ones.

.73's. Perfect for strumming through the bass.

.60 mm dunlop. Those red ones. Enough stiffness to dig in and rock the house, but enough flexibility to do that Anthony Jackson "Money" thing with palm muting, etc. Also, nice springiness in the upper register for that Geddy Lee type of vibe.

I also use relatively light strings with this as well: 40's or 45's. Rotosound or EB Slinkey.

i use medium guage (green) Dunlop Tortex Jazz (the short sharp pointed ones) picks.

they don't feel too ridiculous chunky but you can dig with them.
the fact that they're smaller makes for faster movement, less clumsiness, and lets me continue to involve my hands and fingers in the attack rather than solely the pick.

Dunlop .73mm for metal/punk. I find that heavier picks slow me down and make for a lot of fretbuzz.
