There is a third method that no-one has mentioned yet, and that is the slight application of rudder on final, reducing the crab by about a half, then a full push on that pedal when landing.
As I find the use of rudder is counter-intuitive... i.e. you push forward on the left pedal, and the left wing goes backward. ( And perhaps because I have chosen the wrong pedal at the wrong time.) I like to have my correct foot pushing slightly on the correct pedal before the full effort is required, that way I don't use the incorrect input.
Some of this I learnt when flying gliders... For a winch take-off, whilst hooking up the cable, you look at the wind-sock and push the pedal which the wind-sock (or yaw string) is pointing to. This ensures that your run down the runway is wind corrected before the tail gets blown around.
