There are tonal changes between picks. But how it fits in your hand is more important to me

Definitely!, some picks make the sound muddier, others give more crispy tone.
I like the crispy tone from dunlop nylon picks, but the size and thickness is not so good, so I ended up with jazz IIIs, the sound is a bit muddier but the size/thikness is just right -------------------- Guitars:

voted yes, totally, i personally use 1.10mm tortex, but lately i'm experimenting (mostly on recordings) with this ones
using the green pointy one to record acoustics, sounds very nice

I used to use Jazz III's & II's
I've recently moved over to Dugain picks... I strongly recommend that you guys check them out, far better than V picks and soo comfy |

Picks change tone a lot, specially if they are made from different materials.

hard picks are the ones that fit me. I really feel uncomfortable with the soft ones, and they make me be more careful with what I'm playing, so yes, they do matter

Tone varies by pick. How can it not? I use Jazz III picks, because they sound very heavy, and they're so small, so you're very close to your strings, which makes speedpicking a lot easier. That's right, I had trouble getting pinch harmonics, when I switched to jaz IIIs--- Bam!! here they go harmonics all ove the place!, it seems my thumb is closer to the strings now and that made the trick for me. -------------------- Guitars:

Guthrie Govan writes in his first book that a thicker pick grabbed near the edge is preferable since it gives You a greater control when You should play fast notes..... I will definitely agree to that, the only problem I got atm. is that I smashed 5 strings (0.10) in just one day on three different guitars by playing exactly the same note in the exactly same lesson..... (using Dunlop III) Btw. Im used to 0.11 and hit them pretty hard, so I guess I have to re-string some guitars..... or use the Dunlop 205, which is a thicker and smoother version of jazz III.
