I guess it's all to feel. How many picks have you held and pushed against something?

With a Mandolin you're going for a more gentle sound, which is easier to accomplish with a thinner pick (0.50mm). But a lot of mandolin players like medium picks because they feel like they're more in touch with what they're doing (more control). If you're going hardcore, I guess a lot of professional mandolin players swear by "real tortoise shell" picks.
