A CFI I had lunch with last week suggested I should always do full stop taxi
backs instead of touch and goes when practicing landings.

With tailwheel planes or with aircraft with retractible gear, I always
do stop-and-goes. If there is sufficient runway, I don't taxi back
again.

With tailwheel planes, I want to be solely concerned with keeping it
under full control until I'm stationary, not fiddling with
reconfiguration. With retract gear planes, I want to look at the flap
switch to make sure I've not mistakenly grabbed the gear switch.
