For years I have played Clawhammer ith Dunlop .025 steel finger picks on. I simply turn the one on my right middle finger upside down. This notion is out of the Pete Seeger 5 String Banjo book.
It works fine for me.

HOWEVER

I am going to try the artficial acrylic nail route to see if I like the freedom of not having to look for picks in between tunes at Coleman's Authentic Irish Pub.
