I've got a Hollis 200LX regulator. I find the default mouthpiece quite uncomfortable, as it seems like I always need to clench to keep the thing in my mouth. I'm wondering if a comfo-bite or a moldable mouthpiece is the better option? Also, how do I know which mouth pieces will fit? I thought they were all universal, but from previous threads here that doesn't seem to be true.
 
I love my moldable mouthpiece that I have on my Scubapro A700.
You are correct, mouthpieces are not universal in size. Check with the mouthpiece manufacturer for the correct size for your regulator.
 
Personally I like the comfo-bite mouth pieces and put them on all my regs. They are smaller and don't feel so bulky in your mouth. Also i don't have to bite down much at all and with the bridge that is in it I can hold it in with my tongue if my jaw gets tired.
 
Try both. I never liked the stock mouthpiece that came with my reg and upgraded it to the mouldable piece. It was better but still just ok. To my surprise, I really liked the comfobite. Your jaw geometry, regulator weight, and house routing also plays a role in regulator mouthpiece comfort. For example, in some cases I prefer comfobites, but in other cases I stick with regular mouthpieces.
 
I love Comfobites but I use an emory board to smooth any excess ridges from the molding before use.
