If your trumpet players are using C trumpets and are careless about intonation then you might be able to match them better with a CC tuba. But if they play in tune and listen and if you also play in tune and listen then it doesn't matter what keys your instruments are in. Go with a small or medium BBb tuba and be happy.
BUT be wary of the Weril. I find that mine is a bit too small for a quintet (except for rehearsing in a tiny room) and it goes very flat above the bass clef staff. I do like it for trio work and for giving tuba lessons, however.
