I would say that the furthest point depends on what approach is going to be completed. For instance, in a visual approach I could give vectors to final app or to base leg always taking in acount the MVA.
In a VOR APP/ILS APP the FAF.
In a NDB APP the NDB itself.
At least that is what we are instructed to do in LEMG Approach.
Just my two cents.
