My first set of five picks - My Wife bought me a set of Dino picks as a surprise and I was hooked. Since then, I've always liked Dino picks and the simple hook pick from that first set has done about 70% of my picking.
I'm dreading the day it breaks... It has taught me so much by making me learn single pin picking first. I wouldn't advise raking for a beginer as while it can get you a quick result, I don't think you gain the same "feel" for the mechanics of locks if you do.
