I suspect that depends on what tone you like, your instrument, your string choices, your playing style/technique and several other things I probably have not thought of.
I have not tried one of these 'Hawk' picks, but I have tried Red Bear and Happy Turtle and must say that of the BC, the Dunlop Primetone 1.5mm triangles, the plastic Pro-Plec's and these casein picks, I find the Blue Chip by far the best (to my ears) followed by the Primetone (which I like better on guitar) with the Pro-Plecs and Red Bear/Happy Turtle in equal third place. I tried Wegen's and really hated them.
So... very different experiences and opinions.... the main thing is you find something you like and who cares what anyone else thinks
