jazz mpc's and reeds

I've just recently was asked to join a Dixieland Jazz band as their clarinetist. The very experienced sax player suggested I get a jazz mpc so I can have more flexibility with what I can do to the notes. Currently, I use a mpc that has a 1.05 tip opening, a medium long facing, and I use a #3 reed. I don't want to make the mistake of going too radical with the jazz mpc and regretting it...or not going radical enough and regretting that decision as well. What suggestions would you have for me regarding brand, tip opening, and facing length? Also, would I use the same reeds, go softer, stronger? What works for those of you who also spend time playing a jazz mpc? Thanks for all your help...it's always served me well:)
