Here's a nice briefing from Airbus on their recommended technique...wings-level ie crabbed approach. This document shows both techniques and discusses the geometry limits of certain designs and how that relates to the strength of the crosswind. Good read.

This is flightinfo, which counterintuitively is no place for information about operation of aircraft.

Naturally, Airbus recommends a wing-level, crabbed approach. Applying moderate rudder pressure will result in complete separation of the vertical stabilizer on their products.
