Hi, Kavouras:
You posted your question on Bass' Greek/Turkish clarinet forum too. They gave you good advice.
Greek folk musicians are using Bb Albert (also called simple system) the most today. They use low pitch instruments. C clarinets are also somewhat popular still. The A is somewhat popular to use with some of the female singers who sing in F# minor a lot. The G is a little less used by the village musicians (more by the more modern "art" musicians).
Like George said, get a Bb LOW PITCH Albert system clarinet. You will be glad you did. And if you get serious, you'll probably have a C an A and maybe a G in your collection
