Gusty/Turbulence Approach, more flaps?

Hi there,

An aerodynamic question. Given a gusty approach, will you opt to land with flaps 25 or flaps 30 (flaps full)?

Flaps 25 being lesser exposure of the flaps and the aircraft can withstand the gust loads better.
Flaps 30 being stall speed is reduced, resulting in more margin to stall.

What's your thoughts?

Thank you.
