Wow, some of the explanations here confuse me.
IMHO: If runway length is not a concern, flaps 3 or full whatever makes you happy.
If runway is kinda short: flaps Full, duck under a bit if you are insisting for a soft landing.
Very short runway: Flaps full and aim for the numbers just like in the bush xD. Keeping in mind you are seating 15 feet+ above the main gears and that they are well behind you. Now I will brace myself for the safety officer freaks who insist on the 50 feet over the threshold.
