I've been lucky enough to land a C525 about 3 times so am hardly qualified to judge... but I think that the "large" jet minimal flare approach is superior. Smoother ride for the pax and safer too as you can start braking right away. The aircraft nearly does it by itself anyway.
I've flown in the back of C525s where the pilot used the C172-esque "hold it off until nearly at maximum elevator deflection" approach and I think it's definitely worse. We landed about half way down the runway!
