I just posted on reeds in the Georgia thread on 8notes [added below].
If you search here for handmade you'll find many recommendations.
The biggest cause of fault in the low register are reeds past their prime. If you purchase reputable reeds and your low range is good when new, you need to let dying reeds die.
If you have trouble with even good reeds then the instrument is probably out of adjustment.
Search for embouchure and check out past threads on shape, breathing, and air focus for a lot of helpful advise that will aide your upper range.
