How do you prefer to pick your bass? (pick, fingers e.t.c)

So I thought it would be interesting with poll on how people prefer to pick their bass, that is sound and feel wise, disregarding what the music they play might call for, as in an ideal world where one picking technique could do it all.

Personally I prefer to play with a relatively flexible pick, a Dunlop USA Nylon .073mm, for the unique snappy emphasis on the attack that you can only get with a pick.

I chose everything but a relatively flexible pick. I do that and my hand and wrist hurt badly within 15 seconds. And honestly, a couple of those techniques only rarely happen

I like the 'Micks Picks' that are thick felt types but stiff....thumb and faux finger pick...i need to buy more stiff picks but i use a metal pic as well as a Gravity classic XL 1.5.

All styles but I mostly use yellow Dunlops .73 with flats. Heaven for me.
