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.

The word is CLEF. Trombone music is typically written in bass clef. However, music can be found written in tenor and alto clef. Occassionally, treble clef is used.In many older, classical pieces there were three parts written: alto, tenor, and bass. The alto trombone played in alto clef, tenor in tenor clef, and bass in bass clef. Most modern music is written in bass clef.
