clarinet mouthpieces

Hi,
I am an adult clarinet player currently playing in a community orchestra, and have pretty much kept up playing in some group off and on since graduating from college. I play a Buffet S-1 B flat clarinet with a Sumner Acusticut 3 mouthpiece any Luyben ligature and use LaVoz reeds. Last year when I was contemplating getting another mouthpiece, I discovered that that particular mouthpiece is no longer made. So I am wondering if folks can recommend a mouthpiece with similar characteristics, or clue me in as to what to look for when purchasing a mouthpiece. (My clarinet and current mouthpiece were recommendations of my clarinet instructor in college, who unfortunately is now dead). Also, I just purchased aused A clarinet - It’s a LeBlanc LL Model 1176, and I will need to get a mouthpiece for this instrument as well. Are the differences in the two instruments great enough that I should look for even a different type mouthpiece for the A clarinet?
