In order to better assist you, what kind of mpc are you playing on now and what kind of sound/feel/response are you looking for?

I am playing an old metal brilhart level aire 4* with 2, 2 1/2 rico royal or vandoren. I was looking for something that plays similar but will give more volume and brightness. I am powerless over guitar players and my life has become unmanageable.
There are many choices. General recommendation: You'll want to consider a larger tip opening, maybe slightly harder reeds too. This could help you compete w/ the electric instruments. Some examples of bright and loud setups that I or others on this forum have found to work well on Guardala/B&S:

Metal Yanagisawa
SR Tech Fusion
RPC (high baffle)
Metal Dukoff
Barone: Trad/Cont, Contemporary or Fusion models
Vandoren Jumbo Java
Guardala: Studio/King/Super King/Brecker Model etc....
Rico Royal Metalite (you'll have to find one used)
Jody Jazz DV
