Mouthpiece for Soprano?

Hello to All, I am considering buying a new Antigua Winds Soprano Saxophone and I was wondering the difference in metal and hard rubber mpcs. I will be playing mostly jazz music with the sax but I will probably play some classical with it as well. What mpc would be appropriate to switch between two styles? I am currently thinking about a Vandoren V5 S27. Is that too much or little? Would a metal mpc be approprite to buy? I need a little guidance. Thanks.

    Get 2 mouthpeices to do 2 different kinds of playing. Although I am not a classical player, for combo jazz, Big Band soloing and Rock, I can tell you that I really like my Metal Yanigasawa Mouthpeice on my Yamaha 62 Soprano. I would assume that a plastic MP would be best suited for Classical Playing. Maybe a Plastic Selmer MP.
