At my school we were told "not more than 30 degrees of bank in the
pattern". I personally heard from my instructors to keep the ball
centered unless you were slipping.

All good advice.

We did practice slipping, it was
regarded as something you needed to know and show you could do it, but
not normal procedure.

It's essential to crosswind landings.

I also heard a lot of "more right rudder", but that was just me...

Standard flight instructor mantra.

Okay...flame war time!
