Boeing VS mode: 2nd segment ROC selection

what's up have a question thats been really difficult to resolve with the info i have:
What is the "best" way to select a vertical speed in the afds in order that: 1. high enough so that pitch attitude is compatible with selected climb power so that you don't lose speed dangerously? 2. what data in the afm/fcom etc is useful in making this selection or is it a simpler matter? 3. Would there be negative performance at any time if an engine is lost and too high a value were selected and is this even a major consideration in the second segment?4. what about climbs at high altitude if buffet boundaries etc are compatable with that intention and the pilot doesn't wish to use FLCH so as to avoid a repeat of the Pinnacle Airlines-type disaster any guidance?

I know i've asked a mouthful and any replies would be most helpful..still saving for that 757 TR one day...one day ...not even to be a pro just to have a big jet TR on the ticket
