Landing flaps for 757 and 767 can be 25 or 30. If you're close to MLW worth giving F25 serious thought (bigger margin to flap exceedance speed). Certainly on smaller unswept ac, but haven't noticed on bigger types, the flaps bring the CoP inboard, thus reducing stability in roll, so having a lower flap setting increases stability - relevant in gusty conditions.
