I 3 point the little airplanes, J3, Champ etc, and wheel land the bigger singles like a Cessna 180/185 in a cross wind, although I usually 3 point those airplanes in calm conditions.

I always wheel land the bigger iron like a Beech 18.

Again I don't think this should be a "right" way "wrong" way discussion. There are advantages and disadvantages to both that need to be understood, but the important thing is to have and practice
the skills to do both well.
