There is nothing wrong with having different ideas regarding flying, as long as safety is not compromised that is the main thing.
I fly quite a lot in Britian and as to the x/wind thing I guess a lot depends on the type of aircraft and how you prefer to land will determine how much wing down you will use on landing.
One thing I could never figure out about you guys in Britian and that is the use of "on finals" seems strange to make a plural out of a singular.
