Of course it depends on you, but, so far I have tried a number of mouthpieces and the Bach 18 or even a 22 seem to work best on my 20J. I don't really think you want a huge mpc on the Conn. In my case, the Shilke 67 (for instance) limited the volume in the bottom below Bb. It just seemed too small?
The Bach 18 megatone works fine, but sucks much more air out of me. I have a Mike Finn 2, and like it, but I have to be careful in the lower register, as the horn wants to bark a bit more when I push it.
I played a Bach 24W on the 20J four years in college (many moons ago) and it worked pretty well back then.
If the Helleberg worked well on your 20K it will probably do fine on the 20J. I never have tried one.
