 Mouthpiece Resistance

Is there a chart of mouthpieces that categorizes them by their relevant resistance/free-flowing characteristics?

I wish I knew what this question meant. Do you mean:

* The reeds feel softer?
* Pitch control / intonation is easy?
* Sound is big and round (or alternatively piercing and penetrating)?
* Sound production takes a lot of air?

Discussing this stuff in words is so difficult.

To me, "resistance" refers to how hard (air flow rate vs pressure applied) it is to blow air through the instrument. If I understand correctly, smaller clearances between the tip of the reed and the mouthpiece usually make for a more resistant MP, though there may be other factors as well.
