Flapless B737 LDG

Hello,

In the unlikely need for a flapless landing I read in a procedures manual to choose the runway with No crosswind.

What would be the considerations to go for the runway with the least crosswind, other than having the best landing distance performance?

As I was taught flying GA aircraft, in the event of heavy crosswind we were to land with less/no flaps. This is reversed thinking I know, but the influence of xwind would be less on a B737 without flaps compared to with flaps just as on a C172.

Thanks for the input.
