I think it depends on some degree whether you are flying wheeled or skidded helicopters.
We get down to 5 or 6' above the runway before reducing speed, you have almost maximum ground effect to reduce your power required and it enables you to land far more promptly as the nose starts to swing. The additional benefit is that you usually need to lower the lever slightly to land which, if you haven't anticipated the nose swinging round early enough, gives you a little help in controlling the Tq reaction.
Another option is to just fly with between 3 - 500'/min RoD all the way to the ground, with just a gentle flare at the very end - this is definitely more suited to wheeled helos with nice big oleos to soften the impact, but it does reduce your power required and therefore the amount of Tq reaction you are opposing with speed.
With a wheeled aircraft it helps to 'plant' the nosewheel (if it is a lockable one) as that also helps with directional control - just don't dump the lever as soon as you are on the ground.
