After a long trip and then side-slipping-in on final due to strong cross-winds, the thought of fuel-starvation caused by unporting of an emptyish tank does cross my mind.
So, I tend to favour a dive-bomb the runway approach.

The Arrow gear doors make fantastic airbrakes , but because of the gear cycle-time I'd leave the wheels where they are if you're below about 700'
