Make your phrasing clear from your slurs and other markings and leave the bowings up to the performers.

Hello,
I am hoping to tap collective wisdom here. I have an orchestral piece that I'm revising right now. It has had two performances (good orchestras). After the first performance, I kept the bowings put in by the string section leaders in the parts. The performers of the second piece rebowed a few places.
Now that I am revising, and making a new set of parts, I am wondering if I should include the bowings in the parts? I have never done this, knowing that section leaders will do a better job than I would. However, since I have a nice set of bowings, should I include these in the string parts? I'm guessing that if I do, the section leaders would pick over them and change the ones they don't like. In that case, should I just leave the parts unbowed?
Obviously, I have slurs and articulations. I'm just talking about the standard downbow/upbow markings.
On a side note: I did this piece originally in 3.7.2. I have done a fair amount of the revising in 3.7.2, and I am impressed with how well the program stands up! I have done some of the work in 2003, and I am also impressed with how well the program converts the old files, and also how much has improved in the intervening years. The revisions were not extensive enough to require re-extracting the parts -- faster to simply rework each one. It seems that after converting a part, all I need do is remove the tie/dot alterations, reset the tie settings to default, remove system locks, respace and recalc -- and I am ready to go.
Thanks,
David Froom
