I can only quote from the Boeing planning and performance manual. The 737-800 assumes a climb speed of 280 knots. Climbing at 250 below 10,000' which is required in the US about 25 kg additional fuel will be consumed.

The 727 and 757 are better if you climb the aircraft at their best climb speeds based on current gross weights rather than the standard 280 knot speed.
