Celluloid picks are going to be the most popular kind of picks.  They are going to be ranging from heavy to thin to medium to soft.  The fender series has a good range of styles and even comes with a great re-sealable clamshell with 12 guitar picks.

The National thumb pick is more a unique design.  You can use this pick for any stringed instrument (yes boys and girls…not just guitars).  Very convenient if holding a regular guitar pick is not your style.  The reviews at Zzounds.com give plastic guitar pick a 8.4 out 10!

A newer style of pick that I haven't seen too many copy-cats of is the WireThing guitar pick.  Very unique pick.  It is made out of nylon and than there is a metal piece at the end shaped like a diamond.  One of the great advantages of this kind of pick is you get excellent precision sound using a metal wire to stroke your strings, but you also get the ease and flexibility of using a plastic or nylon pick.  Blue screen of Death.
