Speaking purely of physics, piston valves are much more efficient, and are usually, therefore, faster. Rotary valves are slower, I suppose, but they'd also have less travel, which can make them faster, as long as they are made well. Who knows--I'm glad I play euphonium and don;t have to worry about it.. :) But, if I had a choice, all other things being equal, I think I would choose piston.
