Metal all the way....
The sound is the most important aspect. If it sounds too different its just usable as an effect.
 
Stay Metal!!!

I think it's really good you are exploring new plectrum options. I've been meaning to check out your new tunes (sorry, been busy as you've probably seen) but remember all that "tone" stuff I was talking about in some of our conversations a while back? I could definitely see the Nylon Dunlops being part of what was causing the issues.
 
I seriously dislike those picks and I think the only reason they were so common/popular for so long was because there simply were not very many pick options back in the day. You had the crappy plastic ones that wore down insanely quick (and in my case simple exploded into shards in my hands) and the Dunlop nylons.
 
Sure there were weird specialty picks like the "Stubby's" and whatnot but they weren't very common.
 
I actually used "Big Stubby's" for a while when I was younger (to avoid exploding picks and the sucktastic nylon ones) but they were like playing with a friggen' cough drop. Once I found the Tortex ones I never looked back.
 
Cheers.

Its too long since I've owned them. Back then i didn't like that they they didn't have groves ore some sort of gripping. Felt like the pick was moving. but their sheep so I'll try them. the sharpest in 1,5mm

I used metal picks for a while, mainly for flatpicking on acoustic guitar. Even though I used 0.013 strings at the time, I always seemed to end up breaking my G-string fairly quickly (dammit it's just impossible to say that without the connotations). 
 
I really like the sound of metal on string though. I got into metal picks from playing banjo with steel fingerpicks and once you get used to them they don't slow you down at all but produce this massive sound. I also used metal fingerpicks on acoustic guitar for a while but suffered the same string breaking problem (and scratched the hell out of the top of my guitar). 

Just ordered these: Dava Control Mini Combo 5 Pack Tips Guitar Picks 5/Bag!

Will buy some Tortex when i am on the local music shop. mainly the 1,35 and 1,5 with sharp point!
 
I think i ditch the all metal ones. I dont want to break strings. Maybe later. The Dava Combo has one with metal tip so i can test it out.

After playing for years nothing but Fender Mediums, one of my godsons turned me on recently to Jim Dunlop Primetones...the ones with the grip surface.  I use a 1.4mm big triangle for acoustic playing and a 1.0mm standard size for electric playing.  I was gobsmacked by the difference in tone and playability.  I love em.  Not cheap though.

i have it. they sound great and play well, but they i got is to soft. but for acoustic it is great.

I use tortex picks (usually the .88's) sometimes, fender steel picks (mediums), but my favorites are the old Hot Licks copper picks. They sound awesome and flex nicely. The only drawback to them is that the tips of your thumb and forefinger turn a little green after playing for a few hours.

green with envy?

 
I'm using these now. The reason is that the others are to soft. I found out that i my brain gets confused of where the pick is if it is under 1,35. And now I have to train my brain to be faster. Not that I am fast now, but faster than I am, non the less.

Good choice. As for pick control ("knowing" where the pick is) practicing scales and doing various exercises regularly will help. Actually if you are talking about what I THINK you are talking about one of the most effective exercises for you might be two 8ve 1st position arpeggios. I do these using the chord steps of keys. I haven't done them in a while but basically it's an entire sequence starting in the key of C, playing the 1st position chord arps for all 7 triads to the second octave then moving on to the next key in the Circle of Fifths. I play it straight through until I come back around to the key of C again.
 
Kind of hard to explain in text (and really quite tricky to play) but it is EXCELLENT for both left and right hand technique, ear training, proper phrasing, understanding keys and basic triads/chords, etc.
 
The BEST part though is all the "shapes" the 1st position chords/arps create which can be moved up for solos and what not.
 
It's like CAGED theory on steroids.
 
Cheers.

Clayton Ultem is remarkable for creating crisp clean tones, on even the dullest of strings. This pick is made of the highest grade material to ensure your guitar produces the cleanest, brightest tone available. This pick closely resembles the true sound of actual tortoiseshell that is so widely desired. However, it will not fracture like tortoiseshell and is one of the strongest picks on the market.
 
Available in 3 shapes – Rounded Triangle, Standard, and Small Teardrop
Available in 8 gauges – .38mm, .45mm, .56mm, .72mm, .80mm, .94mm, 1.07mm, and 1.20mm
