Cool Use of rudder during aircraft rotation

Please your opinion on the following aircraft (Regional Jet) handling question.

Would you use rudder during aircraft rotation in crosswind conditions to push the nose into the wind? This in purpose to assure a correct drift angle to maintain runway track after lift-off.

Or...., wait until after lift-off and then bank slightly into the wind to maintain runway track.

I've a discussion with a collegue regarding the correct handling...

Feedback highly appreciated,

The Snake
