I've played 3, 4, and 5. My personal horn is a VMI 5 valver. Between 3 and 4, take a four in all circumstances. You get a lot more into your pedal range, alternate fingerings that sound better, and less resistance. Marching though, 2 valves G-Horns might be the best.

I have a 4 valve Miraphone [not the greatest, but I hope to be getting a St. Petersburg soon] and I think it is a lot easier to play especially during the hard concert peices when sometimes you don't have enough time to put an extra finger down. It takes a while to get used to the fourth valve, but when you're playing sixteenth note runs, it is very helpful. You'll get better tone quality out of them, too.
Four valve marching Tubas I hear are pretty great. We only have three in my band, but I'll be getting one next year. I hear they're a little heavier though, but if you're a good Tuba player, you can suck it up. d:
Happy findings!

i play a 4 valve euphonium, and it's way easier than 3 valve. sounds better, too. and since tuba's are practically large euphoniums, i'm guessing that 4 valves help keep certain notes, like C, B natural, and others, stay in tune

4 all the way. When you get into the pedal notes, it makes matters easier. Even with Cs and Bs, it keeps it in tune better.

Ive' played both, but I play a Four Valve yamaha now, and I say it's way better, especially getting down into the pedal tones.
Plus, when I play the three-valve sousaphone, my pinkie gets lonely. It has nothing to do. XD
