Use of power will vary too based on aircraft type etc. As for the myth of using rudder to pick up a wing, you do this at your own peril. It's been an incorrect technique taught by inexperienced instructors, and a lazy regularly littered by people that have been taught incorrectly as well.
What about this video ... full right aileron didn't exactly pick up the wing ...
