Have flown many hours on 74s and still flying, but I've never "preset" the ailerons during takeoff roll even in moderate x-winds, and I don't allow my copilot to preset ailerons.
Nobody can predict what the wind vector/gust/shear value will be 2 miles down the pavement from brake release. But during rotation I have always found that there is adequate and instant aileron authority available to counter any wing from coming up. Haven't had a pod strike nor a tail strike.
