Some will only teach the two point, one wing down, method. OK for high wing light aircraft in a light to moderate cross wind, but for a full blown, close to limit cross-wind or when landing in a low wing monoplane or biplane you definitely need the wheeler.
words fail me. your mileage indeed varies.

Fr Dougal you can see lots of variation in advice here.
go do it for real. the decathlon would be a good aircraft to do it in.
An Auster in reasonable nick would be ok as well.

the Pitts is not suitable as a training aircraft for tailwheel endorsements.
too much vision impairment for safe training.

your mileage may vary
mine has been pretty consistent over the past 400 hours though.
