The King is best sousaphone of the two. Those short-action valves KILL projection; if you're going to schlep a sousaphone around all day, why not be heard? The bell angle of the King is better, as well, because the player has a better chance to hear him/herself.

I used a King sousaphone for years at Disney World - it gets the job done.

BTW - I believe the Marine Band uses them, too.
