Marsman,

Impolite sentence deleted .. keep it nice, chaps ...

You will only touch down wings level if you kick the drift off at exactly the right time, otherwise you will need a small amount of wing down. This is basic PofF. Nobody can repeatedly get this right. Neither method can ASSURE a wings level touchdown unless you never kick the drift off which I strongly recommend against. It twists the gear and even on a modern jet will result in a very uncomfortable feeling. (I've been there!)
