I go with full flap and have a slightly lower aproach and lowish speed. Want to be coming in on a fair bit of power so that whe you get to your touchdown point or into a situation where you must land, you can pull the power and touch down quickly. This will avoid a normal float with the added effects of tailwind which would make it very dificult to touch down in a desired spot and save you from going off the end or not getting it down at all....
Just my 2 cents.....
