Surely the Bach 1.5 (and its clones and numerous imitators) is the most commonly found bass trombone mouthpiece. A 1G would fall on the "large" side (along with the Doug Yeo piece which has a definite following). But even among the 1.5-sized pieces there is quite a variance in size. I've tried more pieces than I can now remember, running from a Wick 2NAL (relatively small, but a nice bright Wickish sound) to the Yeo (way too big for me -- and for most people, I think).
The Doug Elliott pieces (of various sizes, rim contours and materials, and bowl dimensions) are extremely popular, and one of those is my choice as well. I'd characterize it as a kind of "large 1.5" or "small 1.25" size, with an open back bore.
My own experience is that mouthpiece choice makes much more difference in sound/timbre on a trombone than on a tuba, and one's choice will heavily depend on the sound you want out of the horn you have.
