Here are some models most folks consider to be somewhere between good and great:
Miraphone 191 (4 or 5 valves), King 2341, VMI 3301 or 3302, all three fairly affordable [191 in 4V is about $4.5K, the other two are under $4K]
There's also the Meinl Weston 25, Miraphone 186, also decent, and both under $4K.
For more money, you could try the Rudy Meinl 4/4 (or 5/4, or 6/4!!). [all over $6K, I think]
All of the above are BBb tubas.
