EGPWS gives you a different way of doing it - it will automatically call something like PLUS HUNDRED and then MINIMUMS (depending on customer option) based on the Baro DA set by the crew. You then call Land/Go Around in response to the EGPWS call.

Not I agree entirely relevant to the scenario we're discussing - I'm just interested in how you guys operate.

Do you have clearly defined SOPs for calling deviations? The following examples for final approach come straight from my FCOM:

Flightpath deviations:
• “___ DOTS(S) FLY LEFT / RIGHT”
• “___ DOT(S) FLY UP / DOWN”
• “SPEED” (Whenever IAS is less than Vref or greater than Vapp + 10 kt or
when the speed trend shows a significant tendency to exceed either of
these parameters and thrust lever position is inappropriate for the phase of
flight.)
• “VERTICAL SPEED” (Less than 300 fpm or greater than 1000 fpm in the
last 1000 feet AGL).

The "speed" call gives you 15 knots range of speed (Vref is the minimum, Vapp normally Vref+5) before it is called to your attention.
