For fingerpicks I us the National NP2.
For thumpick I mostly use a John Pearse, sometimes a Fred Kelly Slick Pick.

Vintage National Fingerpicks

Fred Kelley White Delrin Slick Pick Thumbpicks
I do also like the White Delrin Fred Kelley Speedpicks.

Fred Kelley makes colorful Slick Pick Thumbpicks made of a polycarbonate material. These thumbpicks produce a little brighter tone; however, once you start noticing stress lines in the area that wraps around the thumb, throw it away. It will be breaking soon. Buy a bag full of them.

No one has mentioned black mountain. Game changer for me. (thumb pick tele too) Had the same 3 for 3 years now and still going -- the hecos didnt last 2 weeks with me.

Herco thumb pick, but I have used the white Fred Kelly slick pick which I use on guitar. National fingerpicks but I just ordered some PF signature picks. Of course I'm expecting miraculous advancement in my playing.
