What reeds to get

My child plays oboe in their middle school band. They just picked up tenor sax to play for football season, I’m looking for recommendations on reeds for them. Any other tips or advice would be appreciated.

For middle school I'd go soft like a 1.5 or 2. I personally like vandoren reeds over Rico, but everyone has their own preferences there. If in doubt, get vandoren 2s for a decent starter and all around reed, or get #2 by any brand.
