I was waiting for a sensible answer to this post before I horned in but, I see, that was not to be. I guess the temptation was too much for the wise guy(s) among us.

I have fairly full lips and I do what everyone else does for a mouthpiece. I found a comfortable, fairly heavy-rimmed, deep mouthpiece and use it to the exclusion of other mouthpieces. Regardless of what I am playing, I find I don't vibrate all of my lip tissue, only the part that separates the very soft tissue from the tougher, more exposed tissue. I suspect that the amount of tissue vibrating is a function of the note being played, not the configuration of the lips. I can't prove this but that assumption works for me.
