I have very specific favourite guitar picks for playing different styles. When you buy picks/plectros, what is most important to you?

I should mention, my favourite picks for electric are Dunlop Ultex Sharp, 1.0 or thicker, and my favourite picks for acoustic are Dava. I also use wood and metal picks.
