I play Encounters II on my F tuba and I doubt I will ever do it on a CC, unless I get a really good small one. Anyway, I found that both CC and F tubas have their strengths and their weaknesses for this piece. For me, the F was more satisfactory.

Now, it's only fair to say that I have a very nice F tuba with an incredible low register, so the low notes, although lacking the "body" or "richness" of those notes on a CC tuba, were very clear and distinguishable.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. And if you are still wondering about the "really low C#," which one is that? All of the C#'s I know in that piece are perfectly playable... Are you speaking of the "15va" C in the middle of the second page?
