Bali VOR/DME09

If for instance one was flying the above approach and the flap clean speed was 210kts, would you insert 210kts in the FMC at the FAF, which in this case is 10.6DME.

Would you then fly a decelerated approach in VNAV with speed intervention or would one create a WPT before 10.6 DME to be at 210 kts and then be totally configured at 10.6DME with Vapp+5.thereby flying the entire approach totally configured and stabilised.

As an aside, on some descents where one is vectored up to 30 degrees from the track I have seen that flown in VNAV speed. Is there any advantage in staying in VNAV with a diverging track?? when this occurs I normally fly it in LVCH or V/S. I would appreciate any comments.
