Brass instruments should probably be the least of your worries, because we have fewer limits to some extent.
However, a few things should be taken into acount when choosing a key for brass.
Range. You dont want to kill your trumpet player or horn or trombone or tuba players. For trumpet stay underneath a high Bb5 or C6 if you can help it.
Playability. Some trills and runs are going to be harder than others. Especially have to think about lip trills and other effects like that. Flutter tounging can be difficult on some notes (shouldt be a problem with good players), and there are other things. Keep in mind the tone. If your writting below the staff it has a different sound than the middle register and the high register.
Just some thoughts.
Oh and also keep in mind the fact that soem notes are really out of tune mainly C#4 and D4
