If you are planning to be a tuba major and go into a big-league symphony orchestra then get whatever your teacher recommends. You can always sell it if the career of your dreams does not happen.
But if you are planning to play for personal enjoyment in whatever situations may come along while you earn a living in some other way then find a BBb tuba that is comfortable for you, have fun with it, and never let anyone else tell you what instrument to play. If you are comfortable with it you will put in a lot of time playing it, which will make you play fluently, which will get you the gigs while other folks are struggling with CC fingerings. This is the voice of experience talking. If I had it to do all over again I wouldn't change the tuba part of my life in any way.
