ILS I'd let it go all the way to autoland.
Non precision, I'd bust by a bit, depending on how close to the centerline the approach was. Given that I have commenced the approach, I'm not expecting the weather to be grossly below min anyway.
Other considerations...
How close is the nearest good alternate? And am i familiar with it?
Are there obstacles/terrain on the approach? Or is it over water?
Ultimately, i want to get on the ground ASAP... I am happy to break rules to do so, but I am not happy to crash in the attempt.
You will have a chance of survival crashing the aircraft close to the runway busting minimums. You will definitely die if the wing comes of on the way to the alternate. The only delay I would consider is changing to an approach with lower minimums that wasn't available before (because tailwinds or something like that) if it wouldn't take more than a few minutes.
