Personally, I create extracted parts files, and then I go through each part to neaten things up, make sure page turns are in the right place, etc. When I need to correct a mistake, I change it both in the source score and in the part. If I have to make large-scale changes to the score, I re-extract the parts.
This what I do also. There was a discussion a short while back about Special Part Extraction, and several list members very kindly gave detailed instructions and hints on how to use it. I tried this, and did not like it as well as regular parts extraction, as the scores were being corrected or changed several times before the final version. I didn't have the luxury of getting a final version prepared before I printed parts, as corrections and changes were made in rehearsals. I would lose track of which part held the latest changes.
Part of the trick to parts extraction is to get your settings highly tweaked in your main template, and then do the same using the extraction dialogue boxes (percentages, layouts, etc).
