So not all reed/mouthpiece set ups will be good on them."

Quite possible, haven't experienced.

"However, I have read that an outstanding mouthpiece coupled with a terrible reed will still sound better than a terrible mouthpiece coupled with an outstanding reed."

Could be, but the "terrible reed" is like the cracked clarinet body or any other damaged part. If the reed is up to the manufacturer's intended standard it can only be good/bad in the context of a mouthpiece (and a clarinet, others might fill in, but it is not my experience)

I agree that having a damaged part causing bad sound quality does not show that all parts are equally important. It only shows they can all destroy the sound.

What percentage importance does each have?"

Given a simulation environment, start replacing the different components, measure the result and you will find out if some components are more important than others. In fact, numerical methods like regression analysis or genetic algorithms will give you a percentage answer.
