I used Pisoni Pro J pads on a plastic Jupiter bass clarinet overhaul last year and they work a treat. They have a nice matt finish to them instead of shiny - I use them as standard on all sax overhauls, so thought I'd give them a whirl on a bass clarinet. I also used cork pads for the speaker mechanism and LH thumb key, open G vent and LH1 fingerplate.

I was using kangaroo skin pads on saxes, but found them far too porous for my liking which is why I switched to Pisoni Pro J as the scored 0 on a mag machine porosity test conducted on a selection of pads.
