Although the Saab 340 manual doesn't say anything about it, a flap 0 departure is the preferred method. A slightly longer take off roll, but a significantly better second segment climb and also it is significantly easier to handle the plane single engine with the flaps up.

15 is used for short runways and tailwind departures. Otherwise allways 0 flap.
