Bosnianbill is a good start if you are not a beginner.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

To answer your question about Bogotas, your skill set and experience as a picker is what gives you advantage over security pins, it's not the pick that makes the man.

Bogota picks are not designed to defeat security pins, they're designed to set more stacks at once versus using let's say a hook pick or a half diamond or s-rake. If anything, Bogotas may make it faster rake or jiggle a lock into a false set, and then switch over to a hook pick and pop up which ever pin stack(s) have the spool pins in them.

As far as youtube, watch some old Wizwazzle videos, Kokomolock, and look up the Schuyler Towne 24 video lessons on locks and picking.

He also mentions other lockpickers on youtube. Watch them too but he's the one to start with.

There are many avenues to learn how to pick locks, here are a few that I would recommend:

Great intro to lock picking: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL66CD42F86F3A1F85
MIT Guide to Lock Picking - Lysator (Google is your friend)
Deviant Ollam - Distinguishing Picks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e07VRxJ01Fs
Deviant Ollam - The Four Types of Locks http://vimeo.com/31179906
Deviant Ollam - Lockpicking & Physical Security http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JupQ3BpKGYg
Realistically, all of Deviant Ollams videos - http://deviating.net/lockpicking/videos.html
Datagram - Intro to Lockpicking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZtOiWjIuwM
Practical Lock Picking: A Physical Penetration Tester's Training Guide - Deviant Ollam
Lockpicking Detail Overkill - Solomon (Google is your friend)

This is a list that I copied down not to long ago. I also heard that bosnianbill has quite a few good ones. Hope I helped!
