Trombone mouthpieces are listed by shank size and mouthpiece size.  There are two shank sizes:  small (for student instruments and some small-bore horns) and large (large bore tenor trombones and bass trombones).  Mouthpiece size usually refers to cup depth.  There are dozens of mouthpiece makers and hundreds of mouthpieces; my video covers the basic concepts of mouthpiece design and gives specific recommendations for beginners, advanced players and bass trombonists.
