Just speaking from my experience as a practitioner:
When I bound both Aphrodite and Zeus for myself, I was lead to the vessels that they wanted.
With Zeus, he has shown me that he favors an emerald ring that I have.
With Aphrodite it was a heart shaped charm.
So as far as being picky, I think it depends on what entity it is that you're working with.
When binding, I prefer to let the spirits choose, as long as the vessel is not too cumbersome for me to have to wear/carry around.
Immortal Vessels -- are they pick about their vessel.

Depends on the immortal. I ordered one vessel for an immortal, and I waited months for it. The vessel that arrived wasn't made of anything on my list of materials. Come to find out, the material that She was bound to is very sacred in the culture that She was worshipped in. I'm guessing She made it clear I was to get a very specific vessel for a reason.

I am quite leery about bonding with an immortality as in the past specific ones chose to come to me and maybe I'm wrong but I am wary of committing to an immortal, especially binding one to me or a vessel. I think they can be easier to work with when they choose you. However, I'm not against the idea, just not for me yet....

To be honest, I'm led to a vessel by whatever spirit I'm binding. They can choose from what I have available.
Or I go out of my way beforehand to find what seems to be the best crystal / stone for them.
I also just transfer bindings onto my Master Vessel, which is perfect for any Immortal.

I don't find Immortals "picky" about it, personally. Mine are all bound to me, and I do this with nearly all spirits and Immortals only because shipping a physical vessel is very expensive for me (I have to choose a pricey shipping method in order to ensure the parcel is not stolen here). I only get shipping for the very occasional and super special Estate items I purchase from CH.
In my experience, Immortals focus on your intent behind everything, and if you choose vessels that you either feel have a special meaning to you, or feel they represent the Immortal to you well, then that is almost always more than enough.
