Double Bass All fifths tuning

Hello All,
I am Ketch. I am very very new to this. I am thinking of re tuning my Bass to an All Fifths tuning. I set up a short scale with piccolo strings in Fifths and really liked the sound.
Now i am thinking of setting up the bigger one in a similar tuning but in the normal Bass range.

Would those that know more then me. (Which is pretty much everyone :) ) please give me your thoughts as to any advantage or disadvantage to tuning to fifths for 1-5 progressions and what tuning you like best.
I am thinking either the standard E or perhaps to C as is the piccolo.

Thank you for your thoughts. Ketch
