  Fingerpicks or not... the eternal question

I've played without picks for a long time. And I've used my fingertips on the right hand for damping and muting unwanted strings.

The picks give me a little more speed, but more importantly, a lot less effort, so I think it's the right way to go. But now my damping is screwed cause I have picks on my fingertips and... well, it doesn't work.

So, I'm trying to teach my right hand to dampen in another way, using the heel of my hand and the ring finger to do it. Which I think in the long run is better, caused it will work without the picks as well.

Any thougthts on this?
