Darcy,
I have always adhered to the convention that tuplet brackets go above the notes when the stems go up or are mixed and below when the stems are all down. No one has complained (almost all of my players are jazz musicians at one level or another), and the page looks neater to me that way. Slurs crashing through tuplet brackets are not beautiful, and I'd avoid the condition when possible but, if it's the only solution, I prefer it to moving the brackets.
