aeroplanes certainly differ.

in my aeroplane (a Wittman W8 Tailwind) I have a solid link to the tailwheel.
so I always get the tailwheel on the ground and nail it there.
then I have absolute control of where the tail is going.

2 pointers in high wind or 3 pointers generally and full aft stick give me best control of the landing.

YMMV (your mileage may vary)
