It depends if you're doing the planning before you get airborne or whether you're calculating performance in the cockpit having just got the weather as you approach your destination.

For the pre-flight planning you use zero wind and most favourable runway. The only time you take wind into account for landing before flight is if you may have to land on a shorter runway due crosswind. Then you check the figures for the best runway zero wind, and the short runway with wind applied.
