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

compared to an PA-28 or -32. YMMV.

That's just Cessna -vs- a Cherokee though, nothing to do with high or
low wing. The Diamond DA-40 has tremendous elevator authority, and you
can keep it rolling on the mains only for just as long as a C172. But it
is low wing.
