Like Jim, I also bought that Meinl-Weston tuba strap from WW/BW. It certainly fits my MW tuba well, is easy to adjust and use, and is comfortable. All of the weight is well distributed onto both shoulders with well-padded straps. The harness is a bit of a contraption, but it's a worthwhile trade-off, at least for me.
If I had to play standing a lot, I would look into getting a helicon or sousaphone.
