A320 x-wind landings

Bit gusty in London yesterday. Landed with flap 3 - full x-wind 20ktG30 - bit of a handful!
Having talked about the pros and cons of flap 3/full with the captain in these conditions I'm still not sure what the best config in these conditions would be!

Anyone got any thoughts on this? - I'm sure it's been discussed elsewhere, but I'm really after some solid theory - appr speed, stablity of a/c, control surface effectiveness - headwind gusts as opposed to x-wind gusts etc...

cheers
