I go 3+4. Plain strings are bent up, wound are bent to the floor.

haha, nah, since your post was directly after mine I thought you meant me, or my friend. since just about every guitarist I've met, plus every guitar instructional book and so forth has told me that my picking technique is weird. but what the hell, it works for me. I have yet to see
if it works for sweeping, haven't learnt that yet....

i anchor my pinky finger on the high E string when i play, unless i get to the high E and B then i keep my finger pushed on the body top

My palm stays glued to the bridge so I'm palm muting to a varying degree 99% of the time, I guess that's not too unusual. I hold my pick with thumb+two fingers, though I'm trying to unlearn that cos I think it's slowing down my alternate picking.

I once met a guy who would keep his thumb on the headstock side of the volute whilst riffing around the lowest 4 frets, looked like the most unnatural thing i've ever seen!

I do that palm thing too.

I think I must pick fairly hard because in the past two weeks I've broken my low E and low B string.

That's what I did when I first started playing, it was very difficult to train myself to stop doing that.
