I have always known how to do both and teach both, generally I three point but use wheelers in crossswinds and gusty conditions, interesting with the RV, taught both on the 8 with no problem, when we got the 7 I initially found it was difficult to wheel on, this was the case until we did a 50hr check and pumped the tyres to the correct pressure, once that was done the 7 was fine to wheel on, so definitely a case of knowing your aircraft!
Reading Steps remarks about keeping the tail up, I always understood that the main point of keeping the tail up was to keep the airflow over the rudder as long as possible, once you run out of down elevator, that is when you also lose the airflow over the rudder and is when you need the tail on the ground with stick back. Not sure about reverse thrust though, never really seen it on a single!
