@DaleGribble88@programming.dev As a teenager I used Dunlop Big Stubby for years, but nowadays I feel much more comfortable with Dava picks

These seem super well suited to "proper technique," where you pinch the pick between your index finger and your thumb. I'm largely self-taught, so I hold my pick in a kinda weird compared to other players that I know. It makes me think this style of pick would be uncomfortable for me. I grip the pick with my thumb, index, and middle finger like a claw grab machine, then adjust the tension on the pick curve it around my thumb using my index and middle finger.
