I usually fly the initial approach crabbed and then establish sideslip (wing-down) to be fully stabilised in that condition at 100ft above threshold. Kicking the rudder with adding opposite aileron just before flare is in my opinion much more dangerous technique, and combined with low experience and narrow runway may result in skidding off the runway - not to mention abuse to tires when not done perfectly.

PS: I think the max. demonstrated crosswind component for "Terrorhawk" is 15 knots.
