Bruno: The conventional two-stave keyboard transcription is probably the most useful and appropriate format for academic purposes. If you want the transcription to be user-friendly, you might follow Tim Crawford's lead and limit the space between staves. I would take care if you are using an automatic function that transcribes from tablature to keyboard notation. You will likely spend as much time correcting problems as you would transcribing from scratch. Frequent problems include mis-named notes (e.g., g-flat when you want f-sharp) and ridiculous problems in representations of voice leading, which is a very important point. You can choose whatever pitch standard you like.
