Chords can be played more softer using thin pick. While playing lead and chords Upstrokes and downstrokes becomes much more easier because of its flexibility.

Guitar picks are a personal preference. There is no such advantage of a thin or thick one. It's all trial and error and what works best for you. I personally prefer 0.80- 1mm
