Depends on what you want with them, I suppose. If you're trying to make parts 
fit for human consumption, I'd hazard that most tenors wouldn't be too happy 
with a C clef, however historically correct it might be. Similarly, I for one 
wouldn't be too happy having to write music in that clef.

I can't figure out from the original message what the intent of using 
the 'correct' clef would be, but in terms of usefulness (which is what 
extracting parts is all about, I guess) I say go with the current wisdom of 
the crowds and see what's in use most commonly.

(On a side note, if I were given a soprano recorder part with a G^8 clef or a 
euphonium part with a G_8 clef, my first thought would be 'hmph, amateurs!')
