Well, I'm no professional but still dare to give some advice. Though what I have to say is pretty "standard" and my teacher wouldn't really tell you anything greatly different
1) MPCs are pretty individual choices and you also need to know what you prefer
2) Try to get a number of different MPCs and compare them side-by-side. A very competent bass player found the Vandoren B45 OK, I cant really stand it. Vandorens aren't that bad.
3) Try to imagine the air collum goes "through" - a great player once told me to play from the bottom of my arse :D. That was some of the best advice I was ever given. From listening to your posted video, I feel like you need to open up a little to make the register changes go more smoothly, but I'm no expert.
After comparing Vandoren (B40, B45), Pomarico (all of their Bass MPCs) and the Selmer Concept, I've settled with the Selmer and love it. But again that's up to you and your instrument.
Despite other qualities the Selmer MPC had the best response to the lowest notes and made register changes much easier. The Leblanc 430S tends to be a little petulant there, but has a lovely tone.
Can't commet on Grabner and Fobes, as I woudln't import them to Germany.
