Do you pick up a stalled wing with ailerons, or rudder

One of those FT versus operations OWT conflicts.

Suggest you search for some of John Farley's wise words on stalling.

Aim should be

(a) prevent yaw with careful rudder input. Stall plus lots of rudder is a pretty standard spin entry .... if the wing is dropping and you put in lots of top rudder ... chances are that over it goes - very quickly - the other way.

(b) more recent aircraft should have no significant problem with aileron input

but, as tommoutrie observes, if it's stalled, first unload to unstall then worry about getting back to level flight. If you happen to be close to the ground at the time you may well be out of ideas and height simultaneously but that's another story.
