My only complaint about the Yamaha Sousaphones is the (plastic?) valve guides. Those things break after half a season of use. Of course, we didn't always oil them and pamper them like we should have, but, not many high schoolers do. As far as how well they play, they sound fine to me and we (tuba section) were comfortable playing them. As far as durability, I'd go with a more solid King/Conn type of sousaphone.
