"Versus" implies competition... there is no versus. Drill vs. hammer, which do you prefer? or both? Which should I buy?
The hammer ofcourse!
Then everything will become nails

I use economy picking personally. I can still get whatever dynamic I need while doing so as well. Hitting the string from the bottom or top doesn't solely determine that anyhow. It's how much force you put into it.
You're really dumb. Look up the definition and it will say "as opposed to".
Do you prefer alternate or economy picking? Or both? Which should I learn?
I do exactly the same thing, except it's Technical Difficulties and Vivaldi 4 seasons....not the Mustaine oneWhen you have both hands synchronized to the point where they sound like a playing card in the spokes of a bike that is going 100 mph, then progress to other picking styles. Until then, always work on your alt picking.
I still warm up doing alt picking drills. A few of the 96 various 4 note per string/finger drills and then Scarified in one of 3 positions.
Not working/keeping up on alt picking is like not breathing.

Also, the reality is far from what the rumor says about alt picking being too rough to replace sweep picking. Even if I sweep as gently as possible in mid gain / bridge pickup mode,

I don't think anyone would notice I'm alt picking everything in a mix unless I palm mute everything.
Since we're at it, what do you consider "fast"?
1/16 at what bpm?
Which means fast alt picked arpeggios ≈180-240 bpm
Fast sweep picked arpeggios ≈ not going to happen, sweep picking is a slow motion.
I don't consider speed in terms of notes per second but gestural frequency ; I'd say (being, not sounding) fast ≈ 6-8 gfps , 9+ is very fast.

A fast alt picker IMO should be able to play anything above 180 bpm, so I'm still a bit slow, especially with those stupid violin-like arpeggios![]()
I would say fast would be 180 16ths for 3 minutes straight.
Edit: Although, inside-outside picking when alt picking arpeggios never bothered me much. Never thought that would be something difficult until I heard someone say it is.
