One way to get yourself into trouble on this BBS is to ask "BBb or CC"? "Eb or F" should probably be in the same category. It all depends on what you want to do and what you want to sound like.

For a BBb player, a medium-sized Eb may tend to feel more like a tuba; many German-style rotary F's require a certain amount of finesse in the low range. Either has certain similarities in fingerings to BBb, so ease of fingering should not be a valid reason to select one or the other.
