I fly the 737-800. We always derate and use an assumed temperature if possible and this automatically selects a reduced climb 1 or climb 2 thrust. Unlike other contributors however, my airline wants us to leave the reduced climb thrust in as apparently it does save engine life (at the expense of increased fuel burn) and with our lease agreement, increased engine time on wing saves far more money than the increased fuel burn costs.
