If you are going to grad school, it would be smart to include the studio teacher in your thought process. There are so many possible scenarios where you have a bad ending. Ask the teacher.

Hi!

I owned, played and tried many F tubas up to now and my first choice is the Gronitz Pf-125 and that's the F i'm playing since a few months. The rotary model by gronitz is also a great f tuba. The Gronitz is a great horn for solo and chamber music and also jazz.

The best advice i can give you is to try a couple F tuba of different kind before you make your choice.

If you are interested by the Gronitz, talk to Tony Clements:

I concur, Gronitz F tubas are great. If you can find an old B&S Symphonie F, those seem to play very well and can be had fairly inexpensive.
