Flying our Trinidad on ILS to minima is much easier crabbing, indeed the autopilot won't do anything else! However I tend to disconnect the autopilot and transition to wing down once I've passed DA, got the lights and I'm sure I'm going to land, especially in very gusty conditions. So I guess I do the last 50 to 100 ft in that configuration and feel more comfortable with the aircraft stable and the nose on the centre line.
