Clarinet set up opinions?

Okay, so i'm a junior in high school. I'm Playing on a selmer signet special that has been over-hauled to be basically new. The wood looks brand new, the keys look brand new. The barrel that came with it obviously sucked so i have 4 backun barrels and a custom barrel from a clarinet maker in California. The current backun im using is a 65 milometer grenadilla traditional barrel, but it doesn't hug the top joint as i want it to (but it gets the best sound.. will this effect my tuning?). I also have a ringless backun, a fatboy, and a Moba (all 65.5 mm accept the traditional..). I'm Using a refaced selmer c* mouth piece (It has been refaced to be brighter, sorry i don't know the measurements but i can ask) and im using like 3 ligatures but my main ligature is a vandoren optimum. I also have a rovner versa, and a d.bonde leblanc. I would just like to get an opinion on my set up.. i've gotten so many and i just want to be steered in the right direction. I am currently 1st chair clarinet and i need to be sure i'm giving the best i can...
