For these heavy lifters, I've gone to 100% differential. No down aileron at ALL! Tip stalls are caused by the down-going aileron when the plane is close to max alpha, for the most part.
The flight manuvers aren't that complex, so a limited authority isn't a problem when all you're doing is a few turns. Coupled with rudder, the control is more than adequate.
