Contrabassists don't like the tenor clef, many don't think it's ever
appropriate for their instrument, and some can't even read it.
That said, you should feel free to write it when needed, but it should
be used *more* cautiously on the cb than on the vc--not less, as you
guessed.
You'll actually have less trouble if you use the treble clef instead;
but if you do, be sure to make clear whether the notes are to sound an
octave down or as written. Both conventions are found in existing cb
music.
