Vandoren 5RV used to be some sort of the professional standard in Europe in the old days. In those days we didn't have handmade artesan mouthpieces, we went to a music shop and took at least half a dozen mouthpieces of the favourite vandoren model and chose the best one.
If you are playing with a plastic clarinet, i would upgrade the instrument. Try to find a second hand professional level buffet in good condition, that's a better choice than an "intermediate" model. It's not a shame to play with an old instrument, my instruments are from 1980's.
