Soft field landings - low wing vs high wing aircraft

I'm interested in hearing which configuration folks prefer for turf strips - as well as other factors that might make one plane more suitable than another for grass strips. Or is everything negligable? I've landed Cherokees and Cessnas on grass and I prefer the Cessnas. It seems to me that the elevator authority is greater, or becomes effective earlier than in the Cherokee. It doesn't take much to hold a C-172 nose up, particularly compared to an PA-28 or -32. YMMV. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com
