In my company:
Taxi: Turnoff only
Takeoff and landing: Landing lights use is not recommended
It is affecting visibility so it is a critical selection
Would like to know your operators policy in day, night (if different) during LVO

If your flying the newer 738's then as you have said.

Actually I'm flying the 320.
The question was more for the night/day effect.
During the night the effect of landing lights is tremendous, you will not see any light at all.
During day I'm not sure.

Airbus: as required (*)
My experience: no big deal everything standard (evidence and math available)
2 Lantrin: Critical? Surely not. Taxi without a forward lt seems silly, and we tried by mistake just two nights ago :( I would agree probably with LDG LT for CAT I - but later they're rather nice to have for landing.
Present company: TO light ON for normal landings - now that makes me headbang! Fortunately for LVO: as required.
* = means the people at the node of all feedback could not come to a conclusion which would fit all without ugly compromises.
