First, remember rhat as finicky as clarinet players are with mouthpieces, sax players are worse....
That being said, one of my primary mouthpieces is a genussa GE.
Alto, I have a Rousseau alto mouthpiece that seems good for classical or smaller chamber settings (has a low ceiling for pure volume, but tone and control is nice).
I also like the Vandoren v16 as an "all around" mouthpiece. Seems to be a jack of all trades, master of none of sax mouthpieces. But it's also easy to slap on, play, and sound very good with very good control.

Just my opinions. I don't play much alto at all, but if I do, these were recommendations to me from another alto player and they seemed to hit the marks pretty well.
PS - the above mentioned vandoren optimum line is also a good general mouthpiece line for all saxes. Have played on it on Bari and tenor saxes. But once again, a lower ceiling for pure volume. Don't plan on being a brass band player with those.
