Original Issue with the 2XJ series was a Conn 2, which is essentially the same cup dimensions as a Conn Helleberg 7B with a big cushion rim. (The Schilke 66 is similar, and has been available in both the 'traditional' format and the 'Conn 2' format). When I've played 2XJ's I've usually used a Conn 2 or a Bach 18, but that was a long, long time ago. For the 20K sousaphone, I still find the Conn 2 gives me the best results.
If you want a really big mouthpiece, look for a Conn Chief (or a modern equivalent)
