What's the most comfortable thumb pick?

This is where you can rest a while and discuss anything - doesn't have to be steel guitar related!

I use Zookies 20 ( also available in 10 and 30 degree angle blade) I tried all three and found the right angle for me was the 20 degree, I find that it hits the strings really flat unlike most picks that tend too strike with edge. Really comfortable on fingers.

Dunlop Zookies but I now favour planet waves. Since I had carpal tunnel surgery I use these for steel and guitar.
