RE: new mouthpiece

If you're going to purchase a commercially made mouthpiece, I agree that a Vandoren M13 lyre would be worth trying, or you could try a Gigliotti #2 or #3. These would probably work best with a slightly harder reed. The 5JB is an excellent jazz mouthpiece, so if you're going to be playing strictly jazz, you may want to look into them.
There are also sneezy sponsors who hand make excellent mouthpieces.
BTW, is there any particular reason that you want to stay with a certain number reed? After a certain point, softer reeds make it more difficult to play. (At least that's been my experience.)
