Would you,or not use max thrust -


No. Not if I had the choice. In a lightish weight large jet (certainly with 4 engines), and you were to use max thrust and an outboard engine let go at say 50kts - you would not be able to keep it on the runway - you would go off the side - fact! Full power can increase the risk if it is not required.
