they could both be used similarly, but it also depends on the conversation, if it is being used as a sarcastic remark, you're more likely to use "picky" or if it isn't a sarcastic remark, you could say "they have particular taste" I'm sorry if this is confusing, I find it hard to explain.

The first is more casual speech, and the second is more formal.

Thanks for the helpful answer. I understand the difference. Can I use them as the phrases which have the same meaning?
