RA Setting for Non-precision Approaches

Appreciate input on procedure regarding where to set the Radio Altimeter when flying non-precision based approaches?

Same question for approaches conducted to DA(H) when using VNAV.

Our current operational procedure requires crews to set RA to HAT unless known terrain will cause premature or false automated call outs. In the later case, procedure is to bury the RA to a minus value to inhibit automated call outs. Technical pilots are having mixed thoughts about this procedure and we'd appreciate input from the aviation community.
