What is the best practice for writing Type Based Objects in D6?

Question

Currently, when I write my own Type Based Objects (TBOs), I use DFC (Documentum Foundation Classes) to implement them.  However, I heard DFC has been deprecated in Documentum 6.  Therefore, do I implement TBOs using DFS (Documentum Foundation Services) now?  Or is there another API I am not aware of?

DFC has not been deprecated and you cannot implement TBOs using DFS. DFS is based on SOA/Web Services. You should use DFC to implement TBOs. You can also look into Aspects in case they make sense for your requirements.
