Question Wing Tip Vortices

Are wing tip vortices greater when an aircraft is heavy, slow(high AoA) and clean or heavy, slow and in the landing configuration? After takeoff when the aircraft is heaviest or on the approach?

I have heard that a Boeing 757 has unusually strong wing tip vortices for the aircraft's weight?
