Electric basses are getting more publicity in marching bands as well as everywhere else.

Personally, althought being a pro bass player, I love certain settings where tuba is the choice of the bass section. I get my biggest kicks however when I hear a good section of both.

I know this will put me in a Grainger kick, but I love the University of Illinois recordings where 5 or 6 tubas, 2 string basses, and 2 contraalto clarinets are used to bottom out the band. there are so many color combinations.
