For me as a beginner, who just enjoyed playing nice chalumeau notes, M13 lyre made all the great difference - largely because it made my playing very comfortable and I could control the sound the way I like.
Each time, I see suggestion for Vandoren M30 for beginners - I am wondering, is it really easier to play those relatively open mouthpieces with long facing? Even M15 did not work well for me.
My son in his advances greatly enjoyed M15 after M13 lyre, played a bit with M30 (and have very mixed experience - great potential but challenging in many aspects) and moved to more open mouthpieces.
Most important overall, in my opinion, is that you play comfortably with your right mouthpiece - then you can play dark or bright, loud and soft.
