Question Crosswind approaches - transatlantic differences

Firstly, thanks for all the responses to my "single engine twins" thread - that has just slid out of the "past 5 days" catalogue.

However, following my research on the differences of "standards" (for want of a much better word)- it seems that there is another difference in teaching.....crosswind approaches.

I get the impression that the majority of FAA instructors are saying "fly one wing low, maintain runway heading"....whereas CAA instructors told me "wings level - track runway centreline".

I really am not trying to start a transatlantic battle as to who is right - but I would, again, be grateful for your opinions on which is the better method...and (of course) why?
