The way I approached this problem was by pairing a CC tuba with a Bb
euphonium (trumpet) which I read in treble clef. This way, the fingerings
match--C's are open, etc. To do this with a BBb tuba, you would need a
trumpet in Ab and as far as I know there is no such animal. The trumpet
to Eb tuba is the usual switch, but changing bass clef to treble can
get complicated if there are lots of chromatics. My $.02 and probably
some expert will shoot me down.
