IMO keep your hands at about the 10 and 2 o'clock positions while cruising; when I'm driving as hard and fast as I can on the track, I try to never cross/tangle my two arms up and I keep both hands on the wheel as much as possible. If making a turn that requires multiple turns of the steering wheel you will have to let go and then the hand-over-hand technique seems better to me than the push-pull. However, I think that the required steering response during normal street driving is almost always slow enough that there is a lot of room for personal preference; but it's good to have your technique developed by time and experience so when you have to react very fast and on instinct, you are likely to do the best thing.
