i can tell you this. you won't play F tuba on the audition except for the solo of your choice. the committee really wants to hear you on CC tuba and they specify that on the letter they send back to you. i may be wrong but i really don't think they care to hear flute sonata stuff on F if you can't play your CC tuba very well. when i auditioned last time for this job, they took two guys. one played his solo of choice on CC and the other played his solo of choice on F. just make sure your tape is very clean and shows your strongest aspects of playing. for my tape i put two short solo exerpts and then some band/orchestra stuff that i played the best. from what i've heared, they also like you to keep it between 10-15 minutes. good luck.
