If you have a choice, always approach with the wind on your left. It requires less power, because it requires less left pedal. High torque and almost full left pedal will bite you in the rear very quickly. When you lose ETL while holding lots of left pedal, and also lose the right crosswind momentarily, you have to be very fast on the pedals. My advice with a 206 has always been to keep the feet very busy, and the hands very still, at least as much as possible. If you let your feet become the slightest bit passive, you'll get surprised, sooner or later.
