I have run a quick find over all Debian packages. I looked for 
binaries prefixed with the different proposals.

 * fb- -- 0 matches
 * fb_ -- 0 matches outside firebird packages
 * fb  -- 18 matches outside firebird packages

Most of the fb* binaries are related to the fluxbox window manager. 
None of the present binaries conflicts with the proposed names above.

And finally, I'd give my preference to fb-* names, as underscore 
requires both hands to type on a standard qwerty keyboard (which is 
the only type I've ever seen). Everyone using a command line to work 
with firebird would be grateful for not using underscore :)
