In my entire life I've only ever met ONE person who played to an advanced level and who played a B45. That was Phil Green- he won an audition for Asoc Principal (acting) in the APO playing a B45 "dot", and then in a rehearsal picked up my clarinet, tried a Zinner I had refaced and never played the B45 again (though he also only played my mouthpiece for a little while).
Many players in Europe use and endorse the B40. Serious players, they sound great and they make all their students use the same B40 mouthpiece (this behaviour is clearly not limited to band directors in the USA). Players I know who studied in Denmark and Finland "had" to leave their US Zinner based custom mouthpieces and change to Vandoren B40.
