To start with your choices - I have a Rovner Eddie Daniels which I like.
It has inserts and lots of setup options. It costs a lot of money.

I have a Vandoren Optimum - same deal, but all in metal. It too costs a
lot of money.

I use an inverted Bonade, silver plated. I keep going back to it after
every experiment. It costs half the price of the ED Rovner or Vandoren,
and sounds more even over the range of the clarinet than either of the
others on my instruments/mouthpiece. I'd recommend adding it to your list.
