I actually prefer to use one of the band books. You can easily supplement to develop greater endurance. Some of the band books out there, though, are really ineffective in a private lesson scenario. One flute teacher friend of mine uses Rubank beginning but adds in all kinds of "tunes" since that's what's missing there...
My absolute favorite is "Clarinet Student" by Weber. I use a Rubank book of solos (not the contest collection) to supplement this. I use the first two volumes of the Weber, and then move on to Rubank Advanced.
Ultimately, I think for you to teach well, you must have something you can use effectively! If a book isn't working for you, maybe create your own. Finale does some good stuff vis-a-vis music publishing at home. Since teaching is such a personal type of thing, this can work really well.

p.s. Don't forget that each student is different too! Remember to take cues from them!
