On my Richard Hawkins "B":
I use a Rovner fabric ligature, I think an older Eddie Daniels model. I use about the same reed combinations you do, though a bit softer (V12 3.5, 4; Rue Lepic 3.5, 3.5+; Gonzales 3.5, 3.75, with preferences to the 3.5, 3.5+, and 3.5 respectively).
Compared to the Hawkins, most ligatures are pretty inexpensive. I'd recommend picking up a few different ones and seeing which you like (it's on my list of stuff to do). I've also tried a BG, but didn't like it quite as much, and have a metal one I've been meaning to try (I'll probably eventually shell out for a Vandoren Optimum too).
