All the best,

I had these, they are good - but not cheap.
I can't get on with these nylon things.

Indeed Buffalo Horn picks very good and solid but not cheap!!!
Not for dropping down a hole in the floorboards on a darkened stage or
flinging handfuls to your adoring fans after a set!!!

For fast rhythm work, Dunlop 0.38mm (white nylon, the thinnest that they do) are wonderfully flexible.

Tried loads, but I keep coming back to the Dunlop 500 Delrin picks. 1.14 for Shads and rock & roll stuff with the Strat and Tele, 0.96 for the Lester Polfuss, and 0.71 for acoustic.
