Mouthpiece usage

Ive seen some mouthpieces are stated to be best with large 6/4 tubas and some do not say that. Does this mean I need a smaller mouthpiece for a 4/4 or 5/4 horn? Or does it really matter

Use the one that makes you sound and best on that horn.
Mouthpieces are cheap compared to tubas,

Having purchased 8 different mouthpieces over the past 2 years, in search of nirvana, I found one that made me sound the best, but also was easiest to blow day to day.
I would say that the general guidance offered by Bach, re bore, rim, etc., I found to be pretty good advice when looking across my 8 buys.
