And while we're on the subject, my current project calls for three

preferences for the trumpet parts to be written in B-flat or C in
these
circumstances?
The players I write for prefer modern parts notated in Bb (though of
course they can read anything!) Most of the repertoire is written for
Bb, and the ones that prefer to play C as their main instrument (most
of them) are so used to reading Bb parts that anything else risks
confusion, especially switching back and forth to Bb flugel.
There IS kind of a Bb splat that I miss sometimes when I hear certain
music played on C trumpet, but that is so nit-picky that I shouldn't
really say anything, and leave it up to the players.
