F or Eb?

After playing bass trombone, euphonium and Bbb tuba for over 35 years, I Would like to try a smaller tuba.

I’m not sure if I should get an F or Eb. I would use it mainly for dixieland and quintet groups. I guess my real question is, which fingerings are the easiest to learn for an old Bbb guy?

And please don’t try to sell me anything (quite yet, that is). I want to try out a few horns before I can make an educated decision.

Thanks ahead of time.
