What's the best way intercept the runway centerline?

At $100/hr, I make a bee-line at high cruise for a point about 1/2 mile from
the approach end. (Assumes you're cleared to land, and #1)

But that's just me....I don't dawdle around in the pattern (at $100/hr).

And I don't land at the VASI touchdown point on long runways and then spend
5-10 unnecessary minutes taxiing, holding short, etc (at $100/hr). :-)

Time IS money!
