There is a movement towards the use key signatures especially if the music is more modern. Modern shows and modern music tend to use them so I would suggest that you do that. Wind bands have been using key signatures for years. In extreme keys especially a key signature will make for much "cleaner" parts. As to which I prefer personally, I suppose it depends on the music. Like most horn players, I'm happy with either.
If, as it seems, this is being done for a specific player it may be worth asking him what he prefers. Going slightly off at a tangent from your question, if you are producing a full set of parts for publication or general use, personally I would like to see in the set the original un-transposed parts and also a set of horn in F parts for those who prefer it. If there is any chance that the music may be played on natural horns then obviously they will prefer original parts.
