Question:

Clarinet mouthpieces-- Which is better?

I have been playing clarinet for about four years and I'm looking into a new mouthpiece. I'm either getting a Van Doren 5RV or B45. My band director suggested B45's to our section, but my clarinet teacher suggested the B45. I currently play on size four reeds, and I don't want to have to go back to a 3.5 because of the new mouthpiece. Opinions on either of these mouthpieces would be helpful.
