I'm a big fan of Clayton picks. I like the 1.2 mm acetate picks for their tone and lack of flex. Recently I've started using V picks and they are great. I use the switchblade picks from V picks. They are pointed by design which is great for alternate picking.

Hi Everyone.
I promised i would post my results when i found the pick that solves my problems so here i am.
Im using picks from www.dugainpicks.com and they are brilliant.
They are a bit expensive (about £8 each i think) but for me its a small price for the peace of mind im getting.... see all my previous probs regarding pick slippage etc.
The only minor niggle i had with them was that they don't normally sound quite as sharp as the big stubbies i was using, but i fixed that by sharpening them. I now have the sound and tone from the big stubbies, but a perfect grip and feel too.
These picks really are amazingly comfortable, and they also ensure that my fingers are going exactly in the right place when i hold it too.
At the moment i am getting a bit more pick noise than normal, which i put down to the pick being a bit different to my old ones... but im sure i can fix that with a bit of adjustment to the angle im picking at. Also i think maybe my amp isn't set up the best.
Anyway i wanted to say thanks to all who wrote to me offering advice and helpful suggestions, especially to Ben Higgins who helped me to stop beating myself up about it. Cheers guys!
