Hi Patrick,
I like using the Senon books, the Kaleidoscope series, on my e-flat tuba.
I also use the Grigoriev book for reading purposes. For a real challenge, try the Bach Cello Suites (original version). I haven't been able to master these yet (:
Reading out of the Rochut books is relevant as well. Especially with Rochut, I start getting into the second and third volumes. The octave written lends itself well to bass tuba in my opinion.
I also have started using other instrumental books as well, but mainly for sightreading purposes. (Anything helps!) The Charlier trumpet book is one example, and I also have used French horn books I have lying around. Usually I will just read them in treble, but sometimes I will transpose for a challenge.
Hope this helps. It's good to see yet another e-flat player out there!
