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.

Learn to play the Guitar quicker and easier than most beginners

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

How should I protect my Guitar on a rainy day?
Don't keep your guitar open. You need some silica gel or a fast fret for preventing rust in strings. And always put the front way (fret board) towards the wall while you're not playing.
