I think the gear post needs a bit of clarification. It might not take the abuse of a C150/152, but it's still pretty tough (the nose gears on the 6A/9A might be somewhat of an exception). And the only time you'll have a problem with 'bucking' is if you land already fully stalled. The -4, at least, can actually be landed tail first in between 3 point & full stall, 'rolling' the tailwheel on, and settling onto the mains.
Wheelies are fine, but there's no reason to avoid either style landing. Practice both.

Conditions (or preference) can define which to choose. CG & flap position can make a bit of difference in which the plane 'prefers' (at least with the -4, which I have the most time in), but the pilot is still the boss.
Just ask the owner for a ride, & once you get to play with the stick/rudder, even in the air, you'll realize that you won't have any trouble with the plane. In my opinion (FWIW), you're in a better position to transition than a guy with lots of time in factory planes. You're still in training mode, and trying to learn. Guys with higher time in heavier feeling, slower reacting planes often have a harder time adjusting.
