Hi.
As you've seen so far,the idea and routine for picking varies from person to person,there is no right or wrong way. However I'm gonna explain it to you how I do it and why. I prefer wrist picking as much as possible. First of all,to move your wrist only it takes less effort comparing to moving your elbow,less muscles are in use. That gives me the conclusion that I have more time to pick if I do less movements with less effort. Also another thing I've found important,I like to keep my wrist kind a fixed on the bridge,it stays almost at the same location while I pick through different string,I somehow change the angle a bit but I keep same position of the wrist on the bridge. This also works nice for me palm muting wise, I don't move my palm a lot,I just roll it down on higher string when I play them. So that is what I do to get decently fast and accurate picking,just from elbow. Now,in order to play rapidly fast(usually one string only) picking I go from elbow. But there's a problem with it,at least for me. It is a lot faster then from wrist but it's also surely out of my control, it comes handy for so called tremolo picking when I play single note repeated x times and as fast as possible, for everything else I'd go from wrist. -------------------- Youtube

I guess wrist speed is the maximum speed when playing scale runs/many string patterns. Probably yes. -------------------- Youtube
