Some common sense,
The final decision/action on any important matter that is time critical is with the Captain, hence he should be in a position to take that desicion,so hands on the thrust levers and to/GA switches.
Those situations are:
1. Abort
2. Go around or land in low visibility.
All other situations are covered by the fact that the F/O should be able to fly.
Every set of SOP that respect these principles is OK.
And as a final remark, the less the difference in set up of the SOP between handling a normal compared to a non-normal situation the more efficient the non-normal will be handled.
In other words, when non-normals start to look like normal you are fully in control.
In the end the final question will be "who took the descision compared to who is responsible"
