In 1996 I visited Brad Behn in Tulsa and he made me an Eb mouthpiece from an "A frame" Zinner blank. These blanks were designed for Boehm system clarinets but had a pronounced A frame at the throat giving them lower resistance. This enabled Brad to put a facing on that was similar to a Bb facing, and the end result was a mouthpiece that is very easy to switch Bb to Eb etc.
Over the years at least 2 players who now have international careers have borrowed this from me and not wanted to return it. I have no need for any other Eb mouthpiece and despite much use over the years (though not much use since 2014) it is still in fine condition with little wear to the facing etc.
I use V12 Bb reeds with the butt snipped a bit shorter. Often these are the reeds I've worked on on my Bb but the end result is a little too soft for performance- they work fine on Eb.
