If you really want to be efficient you'll depart with the least flap possible and accelerate to best rate of climb as low as you can.
As expensive as fuel is, it seems engines are more so. Hence we are now using fixed derates, assumed temps and flap 1 takeoffs with non balanced calculations as much as possible which probably burns considerably more fuel for takeoff and climb.
