A320 Selected descent

Hello,

Today I've just flown with a Luton captain. He told me that in his opinion descending with managed descent in most european airports is not the best way. For him, as most of the time we are radar vectored, given shortcut or speed restrictions, well before the speed limits point, the best way is descending with V/S, height x3 +10. Then you adjust descent according to constraints. In this way it's easier to comply with ATC request and most important you never finish to be high in case of shortcuts or something else.

I was used to use managed des most of the times at the beginning, what do you think about that?
