Crab on approach until you have to straighten to land. As you probably shouldn't land sideways (bad for the undercarriage) you have to straighten out which will require dropping on wing and using opposite rudder to stop the turn. If you are carrying pax it's much nicer to be sitting up than falling over to one side. Much easier to maintain a wind-corrected heading than a bank angle.
