Question: Speed control on final approach

Edited to be more specific, the following is with respect to the jet aircraft we see most commonly, A320, B738, F100, B789 and A332's.

If a speed of "180kts until 8nm and/or 160kts until 4nm" is issued on final approach, does this impact the workload in the cockpit excessively or are those speeds reasonable and easy to manage?

Are there any workload implications if issued Minimum Approach Speed?

From a pilots perspective, what is your preference on final approach (within about 10nm)?

For the purpose of discussion, lets assume CAVOK with light winds and these speeds aren't drastically different to what you're currently flying.

Thanks
