Wait -- why would your second method cause you to "Slow down and fly a
wide pattern"?


The traffic at the airport necessitates flying a relatively large crowded
pattern. There's no real point dropping full flaps and slowing down to
approach speed if you're going to be flying a big pattern behind several
other aircraft. For me, it works out better to keep the speed up and slow
incrementally, depending on what the traffic ahead is doing.
