Can't believe the posts here from professionals!

Use Full flaps on a jet in turbulent conditions only.

Main Reason. - faster thrust response....

You win with wind shear and when you touchdown it is easier to kill the bird.
And if you need to go around the engines are already spooled up.

The rest is a load of cods wallop.
