Now here I raise new questions, What repetoire are you currently working?
How old were you when you began the tuba?
Me,
I am working on The Walter Ross Tuba Concerto, And a bit of the Vaughan Williams concerto. And I study Blazevich.
I started playing when I was 13, I am now 16.

BBb instruments are... um... something to be desired. Their sound is very brassy and isn't very good. When you get up into the higher end tuba's (York and such) the sound does improve. But CC is better for a concert tuba. If you go to college for tuba, you will be exspected to play CC. Most times you are required to play BBb, CC, Eb, and F. Right now I can only play BBb and CC, but am getting a Eb this summer.

I would use "mellow" rather than "brassy" to describe any of the BBb tubas I've played. Ultimately the tone required and the key of the instrument is determined by the scoring. In UK brass band arrangements, there are 2 EEb and 2 BBb tubas (or basses as they are commonly known). Typically in addition to being higher the EEb will have any frilly or melodic parts.
Concert Band, Wind Band or Wind Orchestra parts are normally playing by either a EEb or BBb tuba. In other words they do not use either the lowest end of the BBb tuba range or the highest end of the EEb range.
At least in the UK, CC and F tubas are rare - usually seen only in posh orchestras where the tuba player spends more time resting than playing ... you can tell I don't like or do much orchestral playing!

Here in the US, most professional ensembles have CC tubas. Of course the repetoire typically dictates what type of tuba you use.
Brassy or Dark is how I would describe the BBb. The CC have a really bright and wonderful tone.
Here, there aren't too many band parts that designate what key tuba to play, since all are in concert key.
