I would recommend any 3 valve compensating BBb tuba for best intonation. The RMS error of such instruments is only 2.5 cents which is twice as good as a 4 valved compensating instrument. They are made by Besson, Hirshbrunner and Gronitz to mention a few manufacturers. You won't find them to be stuffy also.
