I switched from a Conn Helleberg to a Marcinkiewicz H1 (or is it 1H?) a couple of years ago and never looked back; I like flat, relatively sharp rims, and the deep funnel gives me a much bigger, darker sound on my CC tuba.
For my Alex F, I am currently using a Marcinkiewicz H3 with a .008" shank adapter to control the insertion depth in the large Alex receiver; same rim, somewhat shallower funnel has a slightly brighter sound that seems to work for me.
