I, too, have used a normal sized mouthpiece since I was 8. I think it doesn't really matter what instrument you play until you are older anyhow. A young student can't really get serious till about 8th or 9th grade (at least most don't). Anything done before then (as long as counting and the basics of music were learned) doesn't effect once motivation started. Playing a brass instrument (any type) is good though. Therefore IMHO, starting on a small instrument and working down to bigger ones doesn't really help a younger student in the long run, although neither does playing tuba early. That's just my opinion, though.
