Ah multiphonics! Harry Sparrnay would be proud. RIP he was a blessing to the scary music community, and as a professor. That's one way to think of it Klose. From what I can surmise, people play pieces on different instruments due to either accessibility or due to preference. For example, I suppose one day I could learn to play cello, but I can't play either right now. However, I do play clarinet and bass clarinet so I could make do with what I have.

As far as C clarinet's concerned, there's a significant timbral difference. If it's available, then it should be used. Of course, if it's a high school or local orchestra and a quality C clarinet isn't possible then it's not worth it to trash Beethoven's music with an inferior instrument that'd make his music sound childish.
