Question Aileron into crosswind

I fly 737 and have often wondered how much aileron one should apply in crosswind conditions. On the 737, if you apply apprx. more than 10 degrees of aileron, you also get spoiler deflection, which deteriorates the aircraft performance on the runway and especially if experiencing an engine failure. On the other hand, if you perform a max crosswind t/o, 10 degrees of aileron doesn't seem to do a lot for you, regarding directional control. I haven't been able to find anything about this in the manuals, what do you think?
