There's a whole slew of alternative fingerings (http://www.wfg.woodwind.org) where maybe one will help more than the other. You can also try SLIGHTLY changing your bottom lip position (taking in a little bit more mouthpiece/reed) to see if that helps. And yes, a comfortable reed helps. I tend to like my reed (currently) a little softer than most. And I use a VERY light emouchure while playing. Seems to give me better control.
On the contrary to what was said above though, I find that my embouchure LOOSENS up the higher I go, instead of tightening. Simply to stop me from pinching out high notes.
