Bass clef generally. The Tuba is considered to be a non-transposing instrument, so a BBb, CC, EEb or F tuba will read from the same music and it is up to the player to know the correct fingerings. Sometimes (especially in Jazz charts) the parts are written an octave above the actual sounded note, the same as music for a Contrabass Violin (String Bass) or Bass Guitar.

For what is called "British Brass Band Music" the Tuba part is usually transposed into the Treble Clef, so the part for a BBb tuba will look different than a part for an EEb tuba.

Euphonium players can play in bass clef or treble clef. In the U.S. most Euphonium players read bass clef, while in Europe a lot of Euphonium players read treble clef.

The Trombone does NOT transpose, the player does. With that said, if the music is written in Bb Bass Clef, one does transpose in Bass clef. Most Bass Clef music is in C Bass clef, but the player has learned how to read in concert pitch, so there is no transposition needed.
