Dani, I'm not sure I follow . . . do you mean you're looking for banjo arrangements of contemporary guitar finger picking songs? I don't think I've seen anything like that really. There is another thread running named "Any Groups for Melodic Open Backed Banjo?". Maybe someone has ideas there.

Rick, last night I tried playing around with that G fingering you mentioned (ring on 6th, middle on 5th, pinky on 1st) and the biggest advantage is how smooth it makes the transition from G to C and back since your hand is already in the conventional C shape. With the way I was taught (middle on 6th, index on 5th, ring on 1st, pinky in limbo), you've gotta do a whole reconfiguration to play a C. I've gotten quick at it over the years but there is a split second of hesitation that I think will smooth out if I work on this new shape. Anyway, thanks for the tip.

(Also tried that funky, partial barred Bb and nearly had a cramp.)
