What english horn shaper tip are you using and why?

I had been using a Jeanne' standard tip but recently switched to the Giacobassi tip because I think it gives me a better sound. They both have good pitch stability though. Also, what note do your english-horn reeds crow when they have good pitch in the high register? My teacher used to say they should crow C#, but for me they work better if they crow a D. Basically, I just test the reed on the instrument and don't worry much about the crow.

Has anyone tried any of the Tom Stacy tips? Based on the measurements, it seems like it would be hard to make a reed that played up to pitch, but obviously it must be possible.

My setup on english horn right now is: Giacobassi tip, Pisoni tubes, Laubin english horn and bocal.
