There's really no choice when playing with orchestra - it's an A clarinet that's required (or a basset clarinet, but that's a rare beast!). Youy'd have to practice with the A for a while before performing the concerto since the feel (resistance, length, response, etc.) will be different than your "normal" clarinet. If you can beg, borrow, or rent an A then don't waste your time.
If you were just playing with a piano reduction it would be a different story - there are transposed pieces for the piano.
