So i’m preparing the Weber Concertino for my audition for a university band and I’ve come to notice that in many different recordings the con fuoco part at the end is sometimes played slurred and other times it’s tongued. My version which is the one edited by Reginal Kell has it slurred but my other copy which I got from IMSLP has that part tongued. Which version is should I go with?

Since the exact articulations of many pieces like that are left up to the soloist, my suggestion would be to make that a judgement of personal aesthetic as well as practical considerations. On the practical side; if you have fast, clean articulations, the articulated version is more impressive. If not, slurred can be almost as impressive done with authority.

Practice both and ask the auditioner which you should play - that would be impressive.

If you want - since it repeats - mix up the articulations. I usually slur at p and tongue at f. If the tonguing gets to be too much and it fatigues, add a slur on the first two notes in the grouping of six (slur two, tongue four).
Have fun and put your own touch on the piece. In college, they'll appreciate going out on your own more than in HS.

FWIW, you might get your hands on the Henle "Urtext" edition, which compares the first edition of the clarinet part to a later revision made by Carl Baermann, whose father premiered the piece and performed it with Weber.
Oddly, perhaps, through the first 6 bars of the coda (the con fuoco) Weber (in the first edition) slurs the 16ths while Carl Baermann articulates them 2-slurred-2-staccato. But then where the continuous arpeggiated 16ths begin 3 bars later it's the opposite - Weber shows no markings at all, but Baermann marks slurs over each group of six 16ths.
