If landing on a transition you should land front wheel first and your CG back.
If landing on a flat, rear wheel first and CG forward.

If you land a little front it will feel better than landing rear first on a tranny. Although I love landing perfecly. I have also run into drops where landing front first would kill you cause the g-out so badly.
Landing rear is a trials thing to flat. Land almost vert absorbing all the landing with legs.
