Tailwind landings/Take-Offs

At our homebase, we do tailwind landings/take-offs if within limits, no gusts, runway dry and no other traffic is present (C525). All items are properly briefed before opting for a tailwind/take-off landing. Landing or take-off downwind is, in our case, for convenience reasons.

Are you sometimes opting for tailwind landings, conditions permitting, for your convenience or are you absolutely against that?

Are prop-aircraft more affected (negatively) by tailwind then jet aircraft?
If so, why?
