I use a Giardinelli Bragunier model (I do not know if this mouthpiece is still made).
The Bragunier model has a rim similar to a Bach 18, but the cup is shallow. I get better performance from smaller mouthpieces on my E flat (especially centering notes in all ranges and providing a lighter sound then my contrabass tubas). You may also want to look at other small tuba mouthpieces such as the Bach 22 or Bach 25.
