loading a trailer...drive on or winch on?

[eastlmark]

New to a trailer, should I drive my car on or winch it on? Any advice from expereinced trailers welcome.
Also regarding tow bar weight, all the advice says a rear engine car should be reversed on and a front engined car should be facing forward but whenever I see a picture of a mid (mid rear I mean) engine car it is always facing forward.

Cheers everyone and thanks for the advice.
Looks like reversing the car on by its own steam then, could be a bit nerve wracking for the first few times but I guess Ill get used to it. No tow eye at the rear of my car so maybe the winch option is out anyway.

Where is your recovery point ?

Like most road cars, there is no tow eye hole or thread for one at the rear.
