get your speed right. The last thing you want to hear is a stall warning when you are 20 feet above the runway on a hot day,so if the aircraft is ready to settle then gently ease back on the stick...as long as there is no further sign of climb as you ease back on the stick (ie you are merely slowing the rate of descent) then keep flaring down to the touch down.
I love feeling the imperceptible squeak of a really smooth landing, but anything that isnt rough on the aircraft should make you happy. Keep you standards high regarding aim and landing point, and be meticulous abut the centreline...all the effort you make to be your best when conditions are good, will come to your aid when conditions are difficult.
