So, which do you ignore? The SOP, which says approach and landing clean, or the checklist which says Flaps-Set, and Airspeed 65-70 knots?

The way I see it, one either changes the SOP, or changes the checklist. If I am Joe-pilot, I go with configuring the aircraft based on what's on the checklist.
Since things in the checklist can be changed - and the syllabus at a P141 school is signed off on by the POI (which should include your checklists) - I'd be more inclined to go with the syllabus as the controlling document.
