If we disregard Sweep Picking in this fight, as it really is it's own special technique for a specific purpose.
Do you just use Alt Picking or just Economy Picking or do you mix it up a bit, and if so when and why! -------------------- My SoundCloud

This will depend a lot on what you play, what feels natural and how you want to sound. I personally like Eco Picking but will use either.

I use alternate picking as long as what I'm playing is slow enough for me to do so. Once I hit the too fast to keep up with speed, I'll start eco picking, and often times rely on a custom hybrid picking approach (not with traditional finger picking but with every note picked). On a side, note, this custom hybrid I used is actually kind of a fun (but challenging) way to pick a 3 note per string scale wherein you down pick the first note, hammer on the second, up pick the 3rd, down pick the first on the next string, hammer on the second, up pick the 3rd, and so on. For descending, you would pull off the 2nd instead of hammer on ~ you still get a pretty close "picked" sound when going really fast, but it takes quite some time getting used to, so I wouldn't recommend it if you're in a hurry to pick fast

Its a combination for me , Economy picking whenever possible mixed with legato and incorporating inside and outside picking string shifts when necessary
