Talk with your teacher at length about your desire for a new horn, if you do not have a private tuba teacher yet, contact your local orchestra or musician's local for a teacher in your area and take a few lessons from them. After you are better acquainted, discuss hardware, the teacher will help you in an objective decision.
That said, if you want fancy cool vintage I recommend you contact Sam Gnagey
at his e-mail address: tubanurse(AT)aol.com
Style, vintage, and price point are likely things he can meet with the variety of horns he has.
For a good flexible all-around instrument, contact one of the following :
Tony Clements, e-mail TonyC789(AT)aol.com
David Fedderly, e-mail bbctuba(AT)aol.com
or Matt Walters, e-mail dillonmw(AT)aol.com
I've dealt with all of these guys and any of them will (I am sure)
be happy to advise you in your options.

Hope this helps
