As a general rule of thumb during upright spin recoveries (unless published to the contrary), should the pilot ever push the elevator forward BEFORE applying opposite rudder?

Yes

It doesn't matter as long as everything ends up in the right spot at some point.

Are there airplane types or some stall situations that require a physical push (pushing with pressure) on the yoke or stick instead of just allowing the aircraft to unload on its own by releasing pressure?

Yes. As a stall becomes more developed (or severe), the pilot may have to physically push forward on the yoke to successfully reduce angle of attack below critical.

No. Airplanes are certified to self recover in all stalls by simply releasing back pressure on the stick or yoke.

What does the ‘Push’ step mean in the AAURS?

Push the elevator to the forward stop

Move the elevator control forward with neutral ailerons until an unload is felt, and any stall characteristic (if present) is eliminated. Also note if any yaw is present. Stabilize the rudder; avoiding cyclic movement and do not attempt to primarily roll with the rudder.

Push both rudder pedals with equal pressure

What does the ‘Stabilize’ step mean in the APS All-attitude Upset Recovery Strategy?

Stabilize the rudder pedals.

Stabilize the flight path and energy state of the airplane while maintaining control.

Don't over control the ailerons. Stabilize the left vector in the vertical up position.
