Like all guitarists, I tried many types of picks, and it's been a few years since I only take this model. That said, hard to say a pick or not he is better than another; I guess every guitarist knows why it takes a particular type over another. On this model, it is the stiffness that allows me to have a very precise feel of the rope, and its softness and low noise thanks to the attack in plastic. The others are either too thick, too soft, too hard or too noisy. In short, it's the one I take.
