The last time that I played 1st on this piece, I used my D trumpet and it worked well. However, I used C on it when I played 2nd because the 1st player was using a C. IMO, the sounds colors can get a little funky when the lower part is playing a smaller horn. In general, when playing 2nd, I try to use the same size or larger horn than the 1st player. It is easier to control the sound of the section that way.

But, as others said, both will work.
