There is another method I have seen used whan sitting beside pilots in what you call 'heavies' that is land with most of the drift on, amazing how many experienced pilots do this!
On cat 3 landings on one swept back wing aircraft i operated you could feel the auto pilot using the wing down method over the threshold.
the aim is to touch down with zero drift close to the centre line and roll out following it, the technique you use in a light aircraft should be what you feel happy with, if you miss with de-crabbing go for wing down
