Yes, in general Eb horns will cost less than BBb's, and BBb's cost less than CC's which cost less than F's, everything else being equal. I suggest a BBb because a good BBb will be a little more versatile for most amateur playing situations than an Eb. Most of the band literature has good portions below the low C, where an Eb horn will begin to sound a little thin, especially a 3 valve. If you are looking for a sousaphone or helicon for playing with a smaller group, an Eb would be a fine choice.
