Post Wheel landings and full stall landings

There are instructors who feel the three point landing is the preferred method and some who feel the wheel landing is perferrable when flying tail wheel airplanes.
Personally I start pilots new to tailwheel flying with high speed runs down the runway with the tail in the air just below take off speed, stop and repeat.

Once they have mastered this we go flying. When they are proficient doing wheel landings I then introduce full stall three point landings.

What do the rest of you guys and gals do when you do tailwheel training? And which method do you feel is safest, wheel landings or full stall three point.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no.
