Personally i think 2500 on the RPM meter, pop the clutch, and when the tire squak is over, floor it!
If the first gear is the best gear like you say it is, then in theory this would maximize your gear use....

I just want to point something out about the first gear issue. No matter whether you drop it at 2.5k or 5k when it comes time to shift you will be traveling the same speed. "using more of the gear" means nothing. at redline the car goes the same speed no matter who you entered the gear.

Yes, but if the engine is too low in the powerband to effective move the car, you will not acellerate nearly as fast, especially if you have an anemic 4 cylinder with no torque
 Not to say all 4 cylinders have no torque, after all, the Porsche 968 engine makes 220lbft, and it's a very broad powerband.
