Fast Jet approach "Speed at your discretion"

I'm curious about "fast" jet approaches.

Given : 20-30 nm out on a straight in approach, VMC conditions, ATC says "Cleared straight in ILS or Visual, speed your discretion".

"Average" rwy (10,000 or more / dry conditons, light winds), any other "favorable" conditions.

Assume initial speed 250 kts.

What speeds / flaps / DME etc do you fly ?
