I mostly fly low-wing singles & twins.
I always use the crab approach. It was the way I was taught (at Cabair) & seems to be the logical method to me. I think that it gives you the best assessment of the wind, 'cos you can judge the actual wind by how much crab you have got.
Just before touch down, turn ailerons into wind, & keep them there on the landing roll, to prevent the into-wind wing from lifting, & kick rudder straight.
Remember, that on your initial call to the airfield for joining, you can always request their surface wind. This gives you time to get set up for a decent approach.
Happy flying
