Your "middle of the road" may be different from the "standard" one.

Having said this, the most "middle" mouthpieces would probably be 5RV (2RV) and 5RVLyre of Vandoren and BP2 (B. Portnoy)
On a side of a closer tip opening, good standard mouthpieces are Vandoren's M13, M13Lyre, (more advanced) M15 and Portnoy's BP1.
On a more open side (less recommended for the beginners typically) are ubiquitous Vandoren's B45 and Portnoy's BP3.
Since Vandoren's specs are well described, it would be possible to find comparable mouthpieces of other manufacturers.

I personally like M13 Lyre (great starter mouthpiece in my experience and opinion) and Backun's Zinner-based mouthpieces for their stability.
