The preflight performance page entry is supposed to be the top of climb wind (first TOC if you have to step climb). Some use the average wind during the whole flight there, however that gives rather poor fuel predictions and differences especially on medium lengths sectors (4 to 5 hours) or more can be quite a lot.

Since it's only two button clicks i usually just fill in the RTE DATA sector winds.
