It depends what sound I'm after, what music I'm playing, and what mood I'm in. Sometimes I like playing with a pick because I feel the rhythm more by getting my whole arm into it. Sometimes I want to lay back and play fingerstyle. Sometimes I want to pound the crap out of my strings (great stress reliever) so I'll use a pick if I want to hammer on it, or my fingers if I feel like slapping the sh*t out of my bass. sometimes I just want to feel the strings and be more in touch with the bass in kind of an organic way...and other times I want it to be more metallic and distance myself from the bass itself and just feel as part of the whole rhythm section, so I'll use a pick.
Hard to say really. I like using both...sometimes at the same time (plucking with a pick, but picking up octave notes with a finger).
Why do you ask?
