This sounds like a controversy that has going on for a hundred years. A reed/mouthpiece combination either works or doesn't and changing one or the other will make the combination either better or worse.
The best approach is to find a reed - brand/series/style/material that is consistent, then find a mouthpiece that works well with it.
Plastic or cane will vibrate differently, so what works for one player probably won't work for another.
My preference is cane, because I prefer the overtone color it produces. I have never been able to get the extreme high altissimo notes from any plastic reed.
If I never needed that range, I probably would prefer the plastic for the advantage it has in coping with weather extremes.
