Not to stir the pot, but I've found just because you're in a prop everyone thinks you shoot approaches at 90kts. Max speed with flaps 15 on the dash is about 148kts. which is about what we do till about a 1/2 mile final before putting on the brakes.
Added Bonus: If Mesa's behind you, land flaps 35 which slows the ref down to about 88kts. If they go around, captain owes you a cup of coffee. Has to be in the air though, no slow taxiing on the runway....
