Try the old red box Rico Reserve reeds (3.5 or 3) or the new Rico Reserve Classics (when they launch this summer, same size).
I LOVE Vandoren reeds. But eventually, you have to realize that with reeds, there are so many choices.
The M30's facing has the American and a bit of French tradition in the curve, so I would bet that the V12s and Rue Lepics would work the best with it in Vandoren land (this is speaking from experience). I use a B40 Lyre, but the V12s and Traditionals work best with it because of the type of curve.
In choosing reeds (for the most part), the tip opening determines the overall strength, while your air and embouchure pressure seals the deal. The curve is crucial in determining the cut of reed (unfiled vs. filed, length of the vamp, thickness of the reed).
