I was always taught to select carb heat downwind and leave it on until you land. I can't see the problem on a go round, you just shove the carb heat and throttle forward at the same time. You might have to take another half second to do it on a 28. I suppose a minor advantage as well is that if your idle setting is slightly high you would have less residual thrust when on the landing roll.
