I have been using no flaps for my 5000 ft home runway and partial flaps for short
runways. What do other people use?

I use partial flaps for all takeoffs, about 20%. Most times Im sure its not necessary,
but keeping as many things the same seems like a good habit and I cant
think of a reason not to use them.

Same as you. Alex DeDominices demonstrated to me that flaps fully retracted resulted
in a shorter takeoff,during transition training. I tried a few different
combinations and techniques during phase 1 and came to the same conclusion. I
do use partial flaps on rough/sod runways just to get the load off the gear asap.

Okay, that's what I do; fully retracted (no reflex) for normal takeoffs,
partial flaps on rough/sod runways like my home strip. So roughly half
my takeoffs are with partial.
But I can't make sense out of retracted flaps resulting in a shorter
takeoff. Seems possible yet unlikely but I have nothing to back that
up. Comments? Technique?

I use 15 degrees for most takeoffs, unless I have a passenger that isn't
ready for the acceleration and climb rate. Definitely shorter ground run
than with 0 degrees. I haven't focused on actual numbers, suppose I could.
More lift, lower lift-off speed are good for less wear and tear on landing
gear. More altitude, quicker minimizes time in danger zone of low speed and
altitude.
