Somewhat interesting information, part 1:

Roger Bobo answered a "tubaeuph" query I posted there back in the old days on this topic by saying, effectively: 1: a BIG Eb tuba is the tuba he'd own 'if he could only own one tuba', and 2: (effectively) he'd never be caught in the situation where he didn't have a tuba available in virtually every possible key. So Roger votes for a big Eb tuba, FWIW.

Somewhat interesting information, part 2:

Carl Kleinsteuber built the 2nd Eb tuba on the attached page from an old H.N. White Eb 3V tuba I sold him several years back. That one, and the first one on his web page are examples of BIG Eb tubas that might be excellent, general-purpose horns.

For your consideration . . . .
