The Boeing info I have is for the 747-400. My intent was to convey that the standing vs rolling start is not dictated by runway/performance limitations (i.e., there is no practical difference or advantage either way for takeoff roll, V1 calculation, etc). There may well be operational considerations in the decision, including all those that other people mentioned (FOD, anti-ice, ATC, etc).
