Strauss Elektra

Anyone here played Strauss's Elektra? I have the happy task of fixing the clarinet section for this - all 8 parts. I know there are 2 Bb, 2 A, 2 bassets, Bass, Eb. But what I'd welcome advice on is the 4 normal clarinets: are these to be viewed as Clarinets 1-4, with 1/2 on Bb and 3/4 on A, or is 1st A a more important part than 2nd Bb (or indeed than 1st Bb??). It's just a question of how to allocate the strongest players (accepting that probably there are enough notes that everyone has to be pretty strong).
