Behzad,
The "common" range is 3 octaves, F to F. More and more people are getting larger 3.5 and 4.0 octave instruments. These are still fairly uncommon in most settings. My personal opinion is to write for a larger instrument...but I also have a 4.0 octave instrument of my own. One of the things I hate is not having literature for the range.
I don't think I've ever seen it written in bass clef, but maybe in two treble clefs for complicated stuff.
I like pedal indications, but they are not required.

Hope this helps,

Michael Wood
