Well, I am far from qualified to answer but, My instructor has suggested that a 20 degree flap is about the most you want on gusty crosswind landings, this is due to the fact that a gust can toss you around easier with the added lift from having the flaps extended. Flying in Kansas, you just have to deal with gusty crosswinds as part of life. But it probably is just a preference thing.
