You need to check with a tuner to see what works with your setup, but these are some suggestions. (I'm doing this according to an F tuba - you can transpose them if I'm wrong.)
B - 4,5
Bb - 2,4,5
A - 2,3,4
Ab - 1,3,4
G - 1,3,4,5
Gb - 1,2,3,4,5 + pull something a bit
The Bb is likely to be the dodgiest.
