I don't have a Rudi 3/4 but I do have a 4/4.
The Rudi 3/4 seems to "work" with just about any mouthpiece you put in it, but to me, bowl shaped ones work a little better than funnel shaped ones. But maybe that's just me.
I've used a Marcinkiewicz H2 (bowls more than a Conn Helleburg), Marcinkiewicz N3, RM-10/PT-88, and PT-65 on my Rudi. I actually use the PT-65 all the time now. I got it for my F tuba but was not smitten with the combo, then stuck it in my Rudi on a whim. The horn sounds really big even with a smaller mouthpiece and the low register actually works better!
I would probably try a Marc H1 or H2 on a 3/4 Rudi.
hope this helps,
