GS and Aiming Point

One question to all aviators around the world.
When performing an ILS approach, at the minima or a little before it, do you guys continue visually (of course) below the GS on a 3 to 1 case (3 red to 1 white)??
Or do you continue following the PAPIs on a 2 to 2 and flare so touching down a little after the aiming point?

My point is, a lot of Commanders tell me to touch on the aiming point, thus going for a 3 to 1 situation. Just a few tell me to go via the GS and also to brief the LDA using the GS.

Your opinions are gold! Thanx in advance
