I think you can probably decide by yourself, although it would be good to take someone along with you with good ears to help you.

I believe the Schilke 14 and its variants is close to a Bach 3 rim, they should be fairly easy to find, I think most music stores carry at least a 14a4a, they are popular.

I personally prefer the Bob Reeves line (I play a Purviance, who taught Reeves), although they are much more expensive. Try out a bunch of mouthpieces and pick one that gives you a good sound and a little more security upstairs.
