On the 747, you have a choice of flap 10 or 20 for take-off. My previous operator only used flap 20, only providing the tables for 20. My current operator gives us both sets of tables and lets us make the decision. We chose the setting gives us the best RTOW. Where there are obstacles or a high density altitude, flap 10 generally wins.
