advice in buying a student clarinet?

Hello. My son is entering 5th grade and will be just starting to play the clarinet. I am seeking advice on buying a student clarinet. I have absolutely no musical knowledge/experience so no information is too basic!

My oldest son started the sax two years ago, and for what I spent in rental fees per month ($45), we would have been much better off buying a student sax from the get-go (we did after one year- mail order) and selling it back if need be (thank goodness, he's still playing).

The little I have gleaned so far is that I should probably get a plastic clarinet in the key of B? Yamaha, Vito? Any preference? Anything to avoid? Any advice on reeds?

Thanks!
