Stall landing/Slow landing

Hi guys,

The POH for several Cessna's I fly say to gently fly the plane onto the runway but instructors say to stall it on to the runway. It seems to me that a smoother landing could be achieved by flying in at the correct speeds, flaring and gently lowering it on to the runway without having to float above it for ages until it stalls.

Also a Cirrus I went in the other day must be flown gently on to the runway in this way otherwise there will be a tail strike.

How do you do it?
