Opinions vary.  My wife is a middle school band director.  She
recommends her beginning saxophone students get a Yamaha rubber
mouthpiece.  They're cheap and consistently well made.

I have used stock hard rubber Yanagizawa mouthpieces on soprano, alto,
tenor and baritone for most of the last 15 years.  I haven't heard any
complaints about my tone quality.
