as a general rule of thumb i have usedinevery aircraft i have flwon, is set flaps according to the windsock, gusty winds, = no flap, calm = full flap,

no flap means a higher wing loading and more stability, and better control response. not only that once you are on the ground, there is less chance of a gust picking up a wing.
