Schools do tend to go with 70-75 from my limited experience - safer due more margin for error.
I don't mean to shoot the messenger, but anyone who believes that it is prudent to "add 5-10 knots for the wife and kids" to the approach speed cited in the POH is simply barking (presumably such "instructors" have never considered the possibility of overshoot accidents).
