I think StepTurn's observation is generally correct.
Certainly flying in the US instructors are surprised by my normal (UK) desire to three point.
But some of that comes from a fair amount of Auster flying. An aircraft which will happily wheel onto tarmac - but then has no brakes worth talking about! On grass, wheeling it is a just an opportunity to bounce all over the place.
My Emeraude would do either equally well and for strong cross winds was generally much better if wheeled on. You would lose a bit of directional control as the tail lowered, but by then the speed was low enough it did not really matter.
