I'm not familiar with your setup, I'm usually in the receiving end, but here you go some food for the brain:
1) I will name in camera, having unique progressive names, same name will be your Tape ID in the Avid/FCP database and the name of your ProRed/DNx will be coherent as well
2) TC of the clips can be Time of the day as long as the TC will be retain in the Avid/FCP database. the ProRes/DNx TC has to be coherent as well.
3) if you need to "call" the clip something else like "good take" use some field in the Avid/FCP that is a comment, not used for conform.
4) you can name clips with day/scene/takes in camera if you like, this will facilitate you journey later on.
5) If you are not sure of what is going on, try very early to do a edit with 2-3 clip and try to re-conform in the color correct system and see if all is good: early errors in the database can be easily spotted.
6) make a safe copy of your RAW -> this is your only negative, fail to do this can be really really really painful.
