With a little polishing silver can look good even when it's beat up and half gone. Laquer looks great when it's new, doesn't discolor your hands, does not require polishing, but looks shabby when it's half gone. So if you want to use a tuba for 30 or 40 years and then sell it you'll get more for silver. But I suspect that 40 years from now there will be much better materials and finishes on the market. Just buy what you like and don't worry about the opinions of other people.
