Strategy for Thunderstorms on Approach

Hi guys, I would like to get your take on the topic of thunderstorms around the final approach.

I have found that a number of pilots like to get below the cloud base as early as possible it the cloud base vs MSA allows that. Even so would you ever fly under the red of a CB? Is this even a good strategy anyway?

Do you have any limit on how close a CB could be to the airport for you to decide to shoot the approach (Assuming the final approach is clear)?

Thanks
