I love BBb tubas.  I never plan on joining an orchestra, unless it's a small local one, and who would care then?  I play because i love playing.  And i love playing the BBb tuba.  That settles it for me.  
To summarize all the points made:  go to a store with a lot of tubas to try and try them all, if you need to.  Buy the one you like the best.
