I've never flown a canard, so respect their unique characteristics. In the mean time, for the light single tricycles I fly, I will full stall on, unless there is a reason to not. If not a full stall, it will certainly always be full flaps, and nose high slow. for taildraggers, I most commonly wheel land, particularly if I don't know the plane well. It provides more positive control and reduces wear and tear on tailwheels. That said, the wheel landing will still be slower, and nose more high at touchdown, no need for excess speed wheels to runway.

For water planes, floatplanes are full stalled on, unless a glassy water landing, flying boats are not full stalled on, but rather landed on the step, which is the water equivalent of a wheel landing in a taildragger. In all cases, full flaps, other than the types for which use of full flaps is not permitted on floats.
