It would also depend how fast you're flying the ILS wouldn't it? - up here, I've been doing them at 120kts down the glideslope to keep the speed up as there is *always* a queue of CAT and helicopters waiting to get in, and keeping the speed up helps the ATC guys with sequencing.
At 120 kts, with about 1900-2000rpm set on a 172, you definitely push for the glide. I flew an NDB-ILS at Dundee today at 80kts and flaps 10, and that let me use the more traditional way.
