I have flown almost all the airbus line apart from the 340.I have also flown the 737/757 and the nicest aeroplane I have ever hand flown is the 300.It has a good roll rate and is light but I have never used the rudder in normal flight apart from engine failures.The roll spoilers and aileron are more than enough to pick up a dropped wing.I always felt that the 320 family could be a bit slow in this.
Most instruction I have seen about recovering from upsets advised to roll to the blue-it never advocated rudder inputs.
