Flaps 30 & 25 are normal flap settings for both the B777 & B787, Flaps 25 gives a 3 knots increase in Vref compared to Flaps 30 but an increase in marging to Vfe as mentioned by other posters, combine this with better handling and windshear go around characteristics a lower flap setting is always recommended when flying in gusty conditions if performance allows.
