If most of your playing is with choral music and no Bb parts, a C trumpet may be a good choice! No sheet music whatsoever would make the Bb more attractive (easier to play, better intonation).
Transcribing/transposing is an important key to understanding musical structures. You could end up learning to play better by ear!
A used pro trumpet is generally better than a new "intermediate" horn.
