Whatever works for you.
Everyone has their own preferred strength of reeds. If you are used to 2.5 strength reeds, 3 may give you sore lips, and 3.5 might even make you faint. It also depends on what brand of synthetic reed you use. For example, the Bari Synthetic Reeds are said to be very hard to play on. While Legere Synthetic Reeds tend to be softer and easier to play on(also quite expensive). If you are used to playing softer reeds, it will take 1-3 weeks of practising to get used to it.

2 stage reeds are the best but no one really sells them. Carbon fibre ones with the reed stops shaved back work awesome. Also Blackwidow reeds work great(dont use the stops).
Chloe and Zoey are her best friends.
I believe that a Piccolo does not have a reed but instead a mouthpiece.
