Quidnunc and 411A do make valid points, even if some of us seem to want to have a foolproof method of always greasing it on.

Right flare, right speed, in the right place is what you should aim for on EVERY runway. It all comes down to aircraft type, so any 'pearls' of wisdom given generally on here could prove incorrect for a particular type.

Sure I've 'bumped' it on in the 75/76 a few times (erhum!), but usually it is down to me not getting one of the three factors mentioned above correct. Then, a hump is less forgiving than a nice flat piece of tarmac.

So my advice would be to concentrate on perfecting the technique in your Flight Crew Training Manual and that taught by your training department. The bigwigs have done all the calculations so that if you use the correct technique and account for the prevailing conditions, the runway should be adequate.
