 Need help navigating Music Man books

I'm preparing Music Man. I was given the Reed 3 (Eb clarinet, Bb clarinet, soprano sax) and Reed 4 (piccolo, flute, Bb clarinet, bass clarinet) books.

I need to figure out which parts to play when. I think it's a given that I'll play all the Eb and soprano parts. The trick, I think, it to know which of the Bb clarinet parts are the most important. I quick look shows that the Reed 3 parts are higher than the Reed 4s, which makes sense. Logic would dictate that I'd play the Reed 3 parts, but then it occurred to me that they might be doubling the flute and piccolo parts in the Reed One book (we haven't had a rehearsal yet so I haven't been able to look at the Reed One book). Our orchestra is quite small--I believe nine players, with only three reeds (flute/picc, oboe/EH, and me). So my first question is it more important to double the lead line with the flute, or to play a harmony?

My other question is if it's more important to play bass clarinet in the Reed 4 book than the Reed 3 Bb clarinet part. It seems that the Reed 3 Bb part would be the choice, but the bass might add some nice low color. On the other hand, if the Reed 3 Bb part is not there, might the low color from the bass clarinet seem out of place?
