A subject that has many different opinions.
First and foremost do it the way that you are most comfortable. If you want to spend the time winching go ahead.
Personally I prefer to back tractors on. I have driven them forward on but gave that up many moons ago. If there is a need to drive on (nesting two on a trailer) the winch may get cranked up. If the one being driven on is on steel the winch will definitely get used.
Steel wheels on steel deck, don't care which direction it gets winched.
Used to only winch steel wheels till this summer. I back against a bank to load at home and use the dock at local show. I was backed up to the trailer and the winch was running but I decided to try backing on under tractor power. Went smoothly so I have modified my steel wheel method.
Once again do what you are comfortable with.
I will add that loading and unloading is probably the most stressful time for me driving a tractor, but it does get easier.
