I would sincerely reccommend using a Ron Apperson mute. I was using a Humes & and Berg in my band and it shoved it way out of tune (I play on a 5/4 Rudy Meinl). The Ron Apperson was way more in tune. At least that's how it was for my horn. You just need to take your horn and browse several mutes if possible and see what is best for you thinking about what color tone you want with the mute and how in tune it is and make a comprise between the two. You may not find the best of both worlds though.
