I think the Scottish Brass Quintet uses the Hirs F tuba and he sounds great on it.
I prefer a small CC tuba or a big F tuba in quintets. It just makes more sense to do so. F tubas such as YFB-822 or the Hirsbrunner, PT-15, the new Rudy 5/4 F. The Mirafone 181 is a good size, but sounds a bit bright I think.
