I suppose different SOPs at different places. For us we are using 500 feet or 100 above which ever is higher. With that in mind, you can brief things if they are out of the norm. A good example is the expressway visual into LGA. If bank angle is part of your stable criteria it would be pretty hard to be stable on that approach, unless you're in a helicopter I suppose.
I personally always brief a side step if runway set up would make it feasible. I was flying with a guy when after briefing the side step he mentioned, he's never seen it at that airport. As it turns out the plane before us hit a bird on landing and we did side step from fairly low alt (no time to plug anything into the computer), no drama!
Some companies like guys using all the magic available, my company encourages us to manually fly when it's appropriate, and use the magic when it is a benefit.
