For all our types out of a short, noise sensitive airport like SNA (orange county, CA USA) we do a Bleeds off T/O. I forget the exact numbers but it is worth several thousand lbs of payload.

Also, we have A 320s with IAE 2500 A1 power (A5 is now the standard). Out of PHX and LAS in the summer with temps above 45 C we will do APU on (our airbus term now for engine bleeds off) T/O for payload and also EGT consideration. Engine bleeds off - lower EGT.
