But then I wouldn't write a work in F# major and include Eb saxes in the score. But I would notate them in Eb in the case you cite.
Guess I was a bit too strong in my language. I still would notate the part in question as F# rather than Gb for a concert key of E.

As a totally unasked aside -- the key signatures of transposed parts (in my opinion as a player of a transposing instrument AND as a conductor) should be in relationship to the key of the whole work, and not in an enharmonic key for ease of playing.
Even if the score at this point is in F# major and you are looking at the Eb alto saxophone part (in D# major)?
