Since 1957, I've played Eb for most everything but am gradually switching over to BBb. Eb horns are nice but I think the BBb tubas are much more versatile... that is if you want to use the same horn for both Dixie and quintet work. Why not just get a smaller BBb?... like a piggy or maybe an old Cuesnon pea shooter? OK OK... my REAL answer to your REAL question is ... 'if you must get something different, get an Eb'. I use a Miraphone 183-4 and an old King 1235 4 valve as my primary Eb horns.
