I've only got 0.8 hrs in a Cherokee, but as a mainly-Cessna pilot
with some low wing time (SR20, Grob, Mooney) I do think there
is a distinct difference in landing technique between low and high
wing planes. The Cessnas (152, 172, 182, 182RG) land nicely in
almost a full-stall attitude (or even true full-stall). I've never managed
a nice landing in a low-wing plane that way - it can be done but I've
also always been told not to try. What seems to work well is a fairly
flat flare and just let the plane drift onto the runway.
Get some tailwheel training.
That will teach you how to make full stall landings in any airplane you
fly.
