tailwind landing

To the Airbus gurus in this forum:

Let's assume a long and dry runway (e.g. >4000 m) and a relatively light weight A320.

Considering landing distance is not a concerning factor, what would be the best or recommended landing configuration in a tailwind situation? Flaps 3 or Flaps Full?

Without thinking too much, most common answer is flaps full. But according with my experience I tend to believe that the "cleaner" configuration allows a much better and smoother handling.

Thanks
