There is no rule that actually works for everyone because everyone is different. Embouchure, jaw strength, teeth formation, size, mouth size and opening and the list goes on and on. We're all different. And of course it depends of the tone you're looking for. Dark, full, brighter, richer. The only way to know what is best for you is to try. Once you think you have the best moutpiece for yourself you need to try a few different brands and strengths for find the one that fits you. Numbers are fine but they make very little difference when they don't make any sense for you once you actually play. Open facing, soft reed, closed facing, hard reed, maybe for some but there are far to many other things to consider. The length of the facing, the baffle, the rails, how much mouthpiece you take in your mouth and all the physicial traites I mentioned above.
