I used to fly a Super Decathlon that belonged to Wings Over Holland and as far as landing goes the gear was much softer than a Citabtia and prone to bouncing if you did not touch down smoothly doing wheel landings....but ...it was easy to land using either method....and it was a lot more expensive as it had inverted fuel etc for aerobatics.
I just remembered I used to fly a Citabria fitted out for aerial application and it had more room inside than a Super Cub...It did nice wheel landings which made it easier to land on narrow farm roads etc.
