I favor Glenn Cronkhite gig bags because I like the amount of padding and the full length zipper. They are a bit more but worth it, although no gig bag will protect as will a hard case. I have a leather bag for my euph but chose cordura for the tubas due to weight concerns.
Cronkhite has many "stock bags" (see a list on Ferguson's site) and will also made custom sizes.
Two sources:
Steve Ferguson: www.hornguys.com
Irvin Karan: www.slidebone.com
Some bags also available from BBC, Dillon's, and WWBW.
Donna Altieri, www.altieribags.com, also makes good quality bags. Her tuba bags, however, are top-loading.
There are others, like Dolly, Tuxedo and Soundwear, but I'm not familiary with them. You have many choices.
