The Airplane Flying Handbook, pg. 8-17, states that, "...to maintain good control, the approach in turbulent air with gusty crosswinds may require the use of partial wing flaps..."
Single Engine Piper manuals recommend partial flaps in gusty conditions as well.
As stated above...be sure to add some speed...a rule of thumb is to divide the gusts by 2 and add it to the normal approach speed...and to give yourself some extra runway as well...you are probably going to float.
I agree with both philosophies...partial flaps and full flaps. Personally, I like full flaps, like the instructor above, because I don't like going into the flare with excessive speed...it makes more difficult the flare, introduces floating, is harder on the brakes and tires, and accident history shows that the higher the speed on landing...the greater the opportunity for some type of runway excursion. But it will increase control effectiveness which should be given consideration.
