I was talking about personal experience on a type I have a lot of time on, not as a newly qualified Bloggs since the OP was asking what others do.
To be honest with taildraggers there are no hard and fast rules, what works well on a Supercub might well cause you to bend a Cassutt / Pitts. You should however still be able to 'feel' whats going on in any type....
