I was trained in the turbine DC3 by Basler's training pilot, who is a magnificent instructor (cool and relaxed). I was trained to always wheel land it. We did many stalls in that aircraft, and yes, it was a wing drop which I would rather avoid close to the ground. I doubt you'd get it that stalled during a landing anyway, but it wheel lands so nicely, that seems to be the way to go.

My flying boat also responds very nicely to being wheel landed, which no one taught me, I just figured out on my own after fighting to make three point landings seem graceful, and loosing!
