Metal is much easier to project with, but if you're looking for something more cost-effective, go for a hard rubber mouthpiece like a meyer CMR10M designed especially for jazz clarinetists. I used to have a crystal mouthpiece, I didn't notice much of a difference in the volume of sound. I quit using it because it grossed me out to see my spit going through it...

Just realized you might not be a clarinet player... sorry. But I played alto sax in jazz ensembles at my college and I use a meyer mouthpiece. I wanted a metal one, they are a little better, but the meyer one was much cheaper and is pretty good. But if you have a bunch of money to burn, go for the metal.

I have B40 , 5RV and M15 mouthpieces for my clarinets, but do not have a B45. From my experience and comparison in the past, the 5RV produces the loudest sound when using the same reed and ligature on the same clarinet.
Usually a metal ligature produces louder sound than the "fibre or cloth" ligature.
