Well, since no one else has taken a stab at this I'll give you my fingerings of choice. Just remember that there isn't any super standard finger pattern down in the basement. You really need to sit down with a tuner to decide what fingerings work best for you on a specific horn.
Here goes:
Starting B below the staff and going down...
B 125 or 24 depending on situation
Bb 235
A 45
Ab 145
G 345
Gb 1345
F 12345 or open depending on situation
That should get you started anyhow.. I usually tune the fifth valve so that the low A and Bb are in tune and then go from there.
cheers!
