I guess I would put it this way: I own lockpicks, and I own guns. Each, depending on circumstance, can be either a useful tool or an unnecessary addition that escalated a bad situation. Depending on who you are and what you're doing, carrying each can be legal or illegal. Even when used legally, pulling either out too often can bring you trouble long-term.
If you're unexpectedly finding locks that need picking so often that you constantly need a set of picks by your side, you either lead a way more exciting life than I do, or you may want to be a bit more judicious about when, where, on what, and to whom you're demonstrating your skills.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to dog you. All this is meant to be constructive; just trying to save you some grief. As to your question, it depends. Everyone picks differently, and favors different picks. Go with what you use or could see yourself using, and when in doubt, experiment.
