Two comments. First-The only thing about the Dunlop variety pack is that most of the variety is in the material, They're all almost the same shape. Lots of mandolin players out there prefer the larger triangular shape (346). They don't offer any of those.
Second, and this is just my opinion, I tried the variety pack of JT's picks and found them to be, by far, the worst sounding picks I have ever used. Four different materials and all of them had a terrible scratchy and bright sound. I sold them two days after I received them.
I would think a good thing to do is go to a music jam somewhere and ask to try some of the picks that people are using. Different thicknesses, different shapes and sizes. Then you can narrow it down and buy a few that might be appealing.
