No matter what sort if ILS is being flown, the glideslope should be followed until the flare and roundout. That can be done on one of two ways, the glideslope indicator of the PAPIS.

EDIT - What I meant to write was: "That can be done in one of two ways, the glideslope indicator OR the PAPIS".

What is more correct is: "The nominal glideslope should be followed until the flare and roundout. The information to do this is provided by many sources, including but not limited to: Glideslope indicator, PAPIS or equivalent, V/S and power setting, Visual perspective of runway and/or runway edge lights, peripheral vision and associated textural clues. Care should be taken at some airfields where the integrity of the glideslope signal is not garanteed below certain heights and/or there is a mismatch between visual slope guidance systems and the transmitted glideslope."
