It all depends on where I'm going next and how fast I have to get there. I honestly don't think about where my pick ends up after I pick a note, except that I want to make sure to follow through. If I make a conscious effort to stop the pick in mid air, it has a detrimental effect of tone and continuity of the pattern. I think that it will tend to sound staccato if you deliberately stop the pick abruptly after picking a note.
