T/O or CLB Power during E/O after V1

Hello,

747-400 question but perhaps applicable to other ships?

Flaps 10/20, TOGA selected, V1 passed, V2 approaching, engine fail #X, slower pitch up, gear up, follow FD for V2(+10 ish) until E/O accel height of, say, 800. All good so far?

Accel commences, flaps up on schedule, routing confirmed.

Question:

When would you engage A/P and which FMA mode would you like? VNAV or V/S? LNAV or HDG HOLD? If in VNAV of course, if selected in the FMC, Flaps5 will give CLB/1/2 thrust. Is that acceptable or would we be using THR button to get climb power when deemed safe/comfortable? Or would we stay in TO thrust mode with SPD selected along with V/S and not worry about CLB thrust setting appearing?

In other words, what would the FMA look like once at F5 during the E/O climb-out towards a holding point?

Thanks kindly.
