I saw a great video on YouTube by Victor Goines on doubling. It's a vandoren sponsored video, but the premise is great.
In a nutshell, find comparable mouthpiece/reed setups between clarinet and Sax so that your embouchure feels very VERY similar between the two. For example, don't use a very close tip mouthpiece with a long lay on clarinet and a large tip opening with an extremely short lay on Sax. The resulting embouchures would be WAY too different. Pick to mouthpieces that require as little embouchure change between the two.
There's a lot of similarities and air support is slightly different, but important to both.
I can't help you with instrument choices. I'd say put the money into a good mouthpiece setup. I can't help you with instruments, but I DO whole heartedly recommend doubling. It's satisfying and often HELPS your primary horn to pick up a secondary as you'll have to deal with unique "Sax" style lines that aren't often given to a clarinet. So when you DO encounter them on clarinet, you'll be that much more familiar with those lines or styles.
