Will you climb at Vxse or Vyse with 1 engine out after take-off on a twin Jet ?

Hi,

Could someone tell me at what minimum IAS one must climb if you get one engine inoperative during the climb (after takeoff) on a two engine jet aircraft (B737 or A320 for instance).

On a piston twin engine (I did my ME on a Cessna C310R) I remember we had to climb at Vyse (= blue line) which is the speed that gives the best rate of climb with one engine out. However, I suppose that if I have nasty obstacles ahead of me I would rather fly Vxse, which is the speed that gives the best angle of climb one engine out. Vxse is a bit slower than Vyse.

Would that be the same reasoning for a B737 or a A320 ?

Thanks for your help.
Good night.
