Keeping the wings level in a stall

I would like to receive experiences and opinions on the techniques taught and used for keeping the wings level during deliberate approach to a stall.

It has become apparent to me that the technique I have been taught, and practiced in many types over many years, is not universal. I am required from time to time to stall different aircraft as a part of evaluation of their flight characteristics. When flying alone, I employ the technique I have been taught (it's kinda instinct now), and which has been reinforced to me by those who oversee what I do. However, on occasion, I am conducting stalls in the company of other pilots, and even with preflight briefing, find that some of those pilots use techniques which differ considerably from mine.

Though the wisdom of the experienced pilots is valuable, the new pilots here are equally important, as they have just received the training, and perhaps do not yet have "habits" overlying that training yet!

Tell me how you keep the wings level, and why you do it that way...

Thanks, Jim
