Guitarists can read tablature, so it doesn't seem worth making a transcription into staff notation for them. For anyone else, I would favour treble and bass clefs, which permits a much clearer texture than a single staff does.
P 2010/1/6 Eugene C. Braig IV <[1][email protected]> ..And frankly, I think a direct transcription of the tablature without taking the time to make guitar arrangements would still be of great use to any thinking guitarist who would care to work from a source closer to the original. Since tablature relates only to relative pitches, setting the first course at e' wouldn't even require transposition. ...Or setting it at g' in the main body of your document and including an appendix in e' wouldn't require much additional effort (certainly not as much as fully fingered transcriptions/arrangements for 6-string guitar), and I would think would still likely be frequently used/cited by guitarists.
