Stay on the softest reeds that are comfortable for you, and ones that will give you control over attack, control over all volume levels and ones that will work across the entire range evenly and easily.
If you play on too hard a reed you will find general response and attack difficult, and you'll have problems with control when playing quietly in the lower register.
One thing you don't want is to be regarded by other band members as yet another oboe player who hasn't got any dynamic control.
I've been playing oboe for around 10 years now, and I only use medium soft reeds - I don't see the point in making things any more difficult than they are by strugling with reeds that are too resistant, and with oboe reeds we really do need all the help and ease of playing we can possibly get.
And do learn how to adjust your reeds so they respond well, play in tune and give you the tone you want - and always have several playable back-up reeds just in case anything untoward happens to your favourite reed.
