bkmorton,
Buying a good mouthpiece primarily involves play testing a lot of them.
If price is no concern to you, then I would recommend you mail order a bunch of them. A few 65$ vandorens, a few hand made ones adn the glotin.
Then you do a blind test:
Play 2 mpces, discard the one you don't like and never look back!

Bring a new challenger to the test, see if you like it better than the current best.
I don't recommend you compare 5 mpce at a time, it gets too confusing. Also if you can bring somebody with a good ear with you that always helps.
Do this process a few times so yu can select the top 2 or 3 mpce. Play each of them for a few days and pick the one you like best.

Even the most standard "straight from the factory" Vandoren mouthpiece has been and is being used in top ranked professional orchestras. Sure, a lot of people here will argue that a hand finished mouthpiece always has more to offer.
They might be right, but in the end what matters is how it feels to you and how it sounds when you play it.

Good luluck,
-S
