Landing a PA - 28 Warrior

What methods do people out there use to land a PA - 28 Warrior?
My method is to get the approach speed just right 75kts (flapless) 70 kts (normal) on final and fly down to a point I judge to be correct then...........and this is the bit I am asking about ;

Do you peel the power off slowly until in the flare or
Do you kill the power and glide down to the flare???

I have seen both methods employed and wondered what the more experienced warrior pilots out there are doing.

The only other difference to these methods I have seen was during my IMC rating when we came down the ILS etc at 100 kts and peeled back the power in the latter stages. I was told this was so we kept up with other instrument traffic that were breathing down our necks!!!
