T&G
Why? What is so special about 200 feet and what does it have to do with anything? Positive climb plus not enough runway to land again should be the cue for gear up. Positive climb plus suitable airspeed should be the cue to retract flap. Track should be runway track until 500ft or as directed by ATC unless doing IFR training and the SID states otherwise (e.g. RWY 15 at Cairns)

Again, strange practices in some quarters of the GA world.
