Honestly this is one of those questions that has no one answer. I play a 4 piston valved one rotor valved CC tuba, and I love the piston valves on my horn. Tonight I had the oppurtunity to play a 5 rotor valved Meinl-Weston CC, and the valves were great. The MW valve's had a very short action and the valves were both smooth and quiet. I have played piston valves that were horrible and rotor valves that were horrible. I like both kinds of valves, I just happen to own only one horn, and it has pistons. (poor college student)
