I gave up on fingerpicks a long time ago.
I tried the herco thumbpick/flat pick that Sonny Landreth uses, and I cant get used to it either.
I still use a flatpick for regular playing sometimes, but mostly its flesh on the string.
Recently I put my fingerpicks back on and yes- louder and a bit more bell-like, especially on my resonator. But still- for muting and expressiveness, gotta press the flesh.
I would be a fingerpick guy if I was more serious with my lap steel, however.
