Whatever way is comfortable for you. There are many different picking techniques that require all sorts of different grips. I personally hold my pick (dunlop Jazz IIIs) with 2 fingers: index/thumb in such a way that i can angle the pick to the string by pulling my index finger in more or less. I hold it at about a 30 degree angle to the strings, though i angle back up (about 30 degrees again) when doing upstrokes during sweeps.
