Should a French horn player play mellophone or marching French horn?

Q: What are the pros and cons of both? All of the music for what I'm trying to do for "Horn in F", so how would I have to change it for a B flat marching horn?

Several had mellophone soloists featured and the bands had between three and ten mellophones on the field (with I believe two of the groups marching B-flat marching French horns instead of mellophones). It also helped that the arrangements were very good and voiced the mellophone parts like horn parts.

Marching Band

I just joined marching band tonight and I am going to play the marching horn. How is this instrument similar at all to the french horn? I mean like involving fingerings and notes?
