Yep! We fought this battle for about two weeks last year.
There were two groups, one was the slow down and use flaps
with a shallow angle of bank and the other group (me) quoting
the aerodynamic textbook solution of flying at maneuver speed
and using about 75 degrees angle-of-bank.


Well, I'm almost certainly going to be at max angle of climb by the time I decide
I need to turn around, so maneuvering speed is out of the question. I'll be starting
my turn with 24 degrees of flaps at 70 mph.
