I use a Rico 3 1/2 on alto sax, unless I need a new reed urgently - then I use a size 3. On bari and tenor, I use a 2.

Clarinet=4vandorens (I use a B45 mouthpiece that is extremely narrow, if I use anything thinner than a four, my tone comes out to nasaly.)
Alto Sax=3-1/2 vandoren javas
Tenor Sax/Bassclarinet=3-1/2 vandoren javas
Bari Sax=3-1/2 vandoren javas
Bassoon=Hards for practice, Medium Hards for rehersal
I think it's not a bad idea to have a 1/2 size higher for practice, to help build a stronger embesure, especially if you play more than one instrument, and as a result you spend less time practicing each instrument respectively.

I use a Vandoren 3 1/2 on my clarinet.
I can play a Vandoren 3 1/2 on alto sax, too, but I prefer 3s for marching and jazz.
