Wrist. In my opinion it is the best way. Accenting, string skipping, dynamics are all very possible with practice. Where as the thumb picking lacks power and elbow picking involves tension at high speed and makes string skipping while muting very difficult.

You need to find a way that is comfortable and stick to it. Its more important to find a method thats comfortable than one that is fast for short bursts.

Don't try pickings styles, work on one.
My sugesttion would be work hard on alternate, but another guy tell you to practice economic, so just use what your favorite guitar players use.

Well, if those 5 styles don't work for you, that's five less you have until you figure it out.

Even though I'm not much of a lead guitarist (I'm mainly rhythm with a little lead here and there), I'd completely agree with this post.
