All about pushing through the initial pain and developing strumming with the hand and fingerpicking in my opinion. I find it offers a lot more dynamic control and options in terms of sound. I also think it sounds better and, for me, offers a better sense of being connected to the instrument. I can't remember the last time I used a pick.

They both have their place, for sure. I use both approaches for different outcomes.
