Well, my Duden is in the office, but there are rules on that:) And
normally you use "ss", only when it might obscure meaning you use "sz"
(because the same word with "ss" exist with a different word from "�"
*and* it is not obvious from context what word you are using).
(E.g. Ma�e becomes "MASZE" to avoid a clash.)
IIRC the same is suggested for transliterations.
According to
http://www.duden.de/schreibung/regelwerk/laut_08.html
"�" always becomes "SS" on the 'Neue Rechtschreibung'... I am not to
sure that web-page isn't oversimplified:?)
In the end there are definitely very few cases (if any at all:) to use
"SZ".
Greetings,
Jochen
