In my Grumman every landing is full flap as the flaps are not very effective. However for Cessna’s in any significant cross wind I teach and practice myself 10 deg flap landings in any significant cross wind unless the runway is really short.

Less flap allows a faster approach while still allowing a nice tail low touch down. This increases control effectiveness and reduces the amount of cross wind correction required.
