If the notes really do sound an octave below what is written, then the "8" under the clef is exactly the right notation.  If they don't sound an octave below what is written, then your transposition is not correct.

I cannot think of any rules regarding those ottavated clefs...
There is a bunch of guitar and bass scores - probably the majority of them (and I'm talking about major publishers) that do not put any 8b clef. It is simply the editor's choice.
