Go ahead and get a CC tuba. A CC tuba is less clumsy of a tuba than a BBb and it is a lot more melodic than the BBb is. From majority to every professional in town plays a CC tuba.
In an orchestra or solo situation I'd use a CC tuba. Just make sure when you buy a CC tuba get the biggest horn and bore size that you can possibly get otherwise you'll be getting an F tuba.
