In the B757 FCTM it states that "large control wheel inputs can have an adverse effect on directional control near V1(MCG) due to the additional drag of the extended spoilers."
So in the B757, no spoilers on the take off roll please! only after the rotation is started.

At the end of the day, you should ask your airlines training department what the recommended technique is for your aircraft and airline.
