Follow the flight manual. In the 707, 757, 767, and 747, I align the nose of the aircraft with the runway crossing the overrun. Rudder as necesary to align the nose. Aileron as necessary to hold the wings level. The 747 may be landed in a crab on a wet runway, but I don't recommend it. It's just as easy to not abuse the airplane by putting unnecessary side loads on the land gear.
