I think that:
But not take at all i say, it will depened what you prefer.
Take in consideration you and not the trumpet, because I think they should play so loud, you need or a open the mouthpiece ( I use in this period pomarico one star but other are different, Tony Scott, if you know who's he used vandoren 5jb and in my opinion is more better than vandoren 7jb and it could be very open but it's not convinient, you can do thousand F but is not the same like pomarico, is close respect of 7jb but the sound is incredible and you can reach quietly B7-C8) I don't think you take a close mouthpiece and you can do "più che fortissimo" notes; more are used to change the intonation.
Changing reed probably you can change the sound but be careful because soft reed take you a strong notes but not beautiful (listen for example Giora Feidman, he uses pomarico very close and very soft reeds equal 1, for him genre is perfect and for the material of mouthpiece because crystal take a different behaviour than abs or other material, you have to use soft reeds, but I use strong reeds and open mouthpiece because I think is very ideal for jazz and other else, I like pianissimo and dark notes but when I want I can play fortissimo [...])

My suggest is try a lot of mouthpiece especially pomarico, oversea there's other but I never tried. Brilhart are very beautiful, in particular the old model tonaline, especially for jazz because are very open and used by Tony Scott or Artie Shaw, saxophonist like Charlie Parker and the creator, brilhart loves him mouthpiece, good luck and I hope you will find your ideal mouthpiece.
